We interrupt the Kings' tense playoff chase and thoughts about their game against the Calgary Flames on Monday night for a moment of justifiable fatherly pride.
Coach John Stevens couldn't conceal his delight Monday after his youngest son, Nolan, signed a two-year entry level contract with the St. Louis Blues, who had chosen Nolan in the fifth round of the 2016 entry draft. Nolan's season and college career ended when Northeastern lost to Michigan in the first round of the NCAA hockey tournament last weekend.
Nolan, 21, played for the Junior Kings while his father was an assistant to then-coach Darryl Sutter.
