Low-scoring defenseman Jay McKee got the go-ahead goal off an aggressive play midway through the third period in the St. Louis Blues' slump-busting 4-2 victory over the Kings Tuesday night.
Martin Rucinsky and Jay McClement also had a goal and an assist for the Blues, who ended a four-game losing streak and won for only the third time in 14 games. The Blues have won five straight against the Kings.
Alexander Frolov and Dustin Brown scored for the Kings, who wound up a 4-3-1 trip necessitated by the Grammy Awards kicking them out of the Staples Center for nearly a month.
The Kings last played at home on Jan. 12 and they return Friday to play the Flames after the best eight-game trip, which produced nine points, in franchise history.
