Los Angeles Kings vs St. Louis Blues prediction

The Los Angeles Kings have done their best work on the road this season, but that doesn’t matter right now given their current form overall. The Kings are watching the losses pile up, and the offense has been bottled up in the majority of these losses. The St. Louis Blues have put together possibly their best week of the season, and they did most of the work on the road, which has to feel good coming back home. Two teams in completely different form. It’s hard not to side with the Blues at home and the cheap price.
