Jonathan Quick has given up 10 goals on 97 shots faced and Calvin Petersen has given up three goals on 24 shots.
The St. Louis Blues look to stay hot while building on their 3-1-1 record. The St. Louis Blues are averaging 2.5 goals per game and are scoring on zero percent of their power play opportunities. Oskar Sundqvist leads St. Louis with two goals, Robert Thomas has two assists and Justin Faulk has 13 shots on goal.

The Kings are 17-41 in their last 58 road games and 8-3 in their last 11 overall. The Blues are 1-7 in their last 8 home games and 4-9 in their last 13 overall. The under is 4-1 in Kings last 5 road games. The over is 4-1 in Blues last 5 home games. The Kings are 4-9 in the last 13 meetings. The road team is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings.
The Los Angeles Kings continue to flex their defensive issues this season and last night didn't help. The St. Louis Blues were way too comfortable in their 4-2 win and they've now won 10 of their last 14 meetings against the Kings. It's not easy to beat the same team twice in as many days, but there's no way I can back the Kings here. Give me the Blues for another victory, and I'll take the PL to lower the juice.
Randy’s Pick St. Louis Blues -1.5
