Utah retains a pulse (however faint) in the West playoff chase, admittedly compromised in recent weeks by St Louis stepping on the accelerator. Though the Hockey Club hasn't surrendered, as reminded by back-to-back wins including a rousing 3-1 success vs. the Flames on Tuesday. Karel Vejmelka's last three starts in goal in which he has stopped 90 of 95 enemy shots (.947 saves) for the Hockey Club indicates that he is well beyond the shellacking he absorbed last Thursday at Tampa Bay. Utah also gets the Kings in Salt Lake City after losing a couple of tough battles in LA earlier in the season. That latter fact is worth noting because the Kings are not the same team on the road as they are at home, where they rarely lose; as a visitor, the Kings have only won 14 of 38 (14-19-5), and GK Darcy Kuemper has only won one of his last four starts on the road.
