The Blues are 16-5 in their last 21 road games and 1-4 in their last 5 Friday games. The Kings are 1-6 in their last 7 Friday games and 21-45 in their last 66 games playing on 1 days rest. The over is 6-1-1 in Blues last 8 Friday games. The under is 4-1 in Kings last 5 overall. The Blues are 4-1 in the last 5 meetings in Los Angeles.

The St. Louis Blues have had trouble stringing together wins this season, but they're still clearly the better team in this matchup and they've played their best hockey on the road all season. The Los Angeles Kings have won three of the four meetings against the Blues this season, but I need more plus money to consider this club in their current form. The Blues should win this game and getting this cheap of a price, they're a tough side to turn down.
