Fantasy Analysis
Now down 3-0 in the series, the Blues' magical season -- led by Brian Elliott's stunning emergence as a star in goal -- is teetering on the brink of elimination. A lot of that can be laid on Elliott, unfortunately, as he's picked a bad time to hit the skids, surrendering nine goals in the last two games. To put that in perspective, Elliott hadn't even surrendered nine goals in any three-game stretch this year. (Updated 05/03/2012).
05/06/2012 17:53 Kings sweep Blues, reach West finals
Dustin Brown scored two goals, Jonathan Quick made 23 saves, and the eighth-seeded Los Angeles Kings finished an improbable four-game sweep of the St. Louis Blues with a 3-1 victory Sunday, advancing to the conference finals for just the second time in club history.
05/04/2012 00:46 Kings within game of sweeping Blues, advancing to Western Conference final
Drew Doughty had a goal and two assists, Jonathan Quick made 18 saves and the Los Angeles Kings moved to the brink of an unlikely second-round sweep with a 4-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues in Game 3 on Thursday.
05/01/2012 14:01 Blues goalie Jaroslav Halak out for entire second-round series
Jaroslav Halak was injured in Game 2 of the first round and was listed as day to day. Now Blues coach Ken Hitchcock says Halak won't be available for any game in the second round.
Elliott started last season with Ottawa, ended it with the Avalanche, and now enters the 2011-12 campaign as a twine tender for the Blues. The Canadian backstop has experience as a starter, but he will assume a backup role behind Jaroslav Halak, provided he beat out Ben Bishop for the job. Elliott will have to work hard to improve upon the unsightly 3.51 goals-against average that he had just one season ago. (Updated 10/4/11)
