    After seeing their six-game point streak snapped in Buffalo, the Kings head home for a test against the West’s top team and the defending Stanley Cup champions, the St. Louis Blues.
    The Kings doubled their previous high for a point streak this season. They also increased their road win total for the season from two to five with a 3-2-1 trip that ended with a bit of a whimper against the Sabres.
    The second period proved pivotal in their 3-2 loss. The Sabres took the lead off a shot going we
