The St. Louis Blues took an early 1 - 0 lead and never looked back.  It was over when Jamal Meyers and Jay McClement took over a Los Angeles Kings turnover.  Mayers took the puck from the Center Line down the right side and fired a shot to McClement who deflected it into the net giving the Blues a 4 - 2 lead at 9:37 in the third period.  It is the second straight win for the Blues who have scored points in the last four games.

Blues rookie David Backes who got engaged Sunday, called up Monday, scored his first assist Tuesday and scored his first goal tonight was named Star of the Game.

Who knows, it may not be a Blue Christmas after all in The Gateway City.
