David Backes says the St. Louis Blues need to do "some soul-searching" after the Los Angeles Kings tied the series at 2 games apiece Monday night. The Blues have now lost two straight games and allowed more goals Monday than in the previous three games combined. "To score three on them was fine and dandy but to give up four, that's not our style. We've got some soul-searching to do, look in the mirror and bring a better effort and more composed effort when we get home on Wednesday," Backes said after Monday's 4-3 loss. Game 5 is scheduled for Wednesday night in St. Louis.
