Trends

St. Louis is 2-5 in their last 7 games against the Pacific and 1-6 in their last 7 games. The over is 33-16-7 in St. Louis’ last 56 games. Los Angeles is 4-0 in their last 4 home games and 7-3 in their last 10 games. The over is 15-6-1 in Los Angeles’ last 22 games. The under is 6-1 in these two teams last 7 head to head meetings in LA.

Pick

St. Louis was able to snap their losing streak in their last game against the Sharks, but I think they will be in for a long game here. St. Louis traded away a lot of their production and it has produced some pretty poor results. Los Angeles has won three of their last four games and is tied for 1st place in the Pacific. I like the Kings to win this game by at least two goals.
