Kings vs Blues Prediction

The Kings are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re at home where they’re 19-3-3 on the season, but I’m not laying this price with a team that’s lost four straight games and has looked ugly doing it. The Blues are also on a heater offensively and have earned points in eight of their last 10 games. The Blues just beat the Kings a few days ago 4-1, and they’ve won the last three games against the Kings overall. The Blues have outscored the Kings 11-5 in those three wins. The Kings should like their chances to right the ship now that they’re back home, but the value is with the Blues and the plus money. Based on the form and with how things played out a couple of days ago. I’ll take a shot with the Blues.
