After sweeping the Blues in their second-round series, the Kings now get a some valuable time off.
Even though Phoenix defeated the Predators on Monday night to move into the Western Conference finals, the series can't begin until the Eastern Conference finals are set, which could still take until at least Wednesday. Further, players like Dustin Brown, who has 39 hits and 11 points in the playoffs, receive a mental and physical break."Just to have the day to not really think about hockey or about the type of pressure that comes from being in the playoffs, it's nice just to get away from the game for a day or two and let your mind reset."
