Los Angeles is heading into this game on the road after opening up their road trip against the Jets. The game against the Jets was a battle for the Kings who finally ended up winning the game 3-2. Even with the win, though, the Kings improved to a record that is 4-5-0 on the year and still towards the basement of the Pacific division.

The year so far has been rough for the Kings offense with 3 goals a game. The Kings have converted on only 9.4% of their power play opportunities, but have managed to kill of 71.4% of the opponents power plays. That does not really help the Kings who have allowed 4 goals a game.

The Blues are sitting in second place in the Central Division. However, the Blues have to avoid a lot of losing streaks that they had before their recent victory over the Avalanche. In the game against the Avalanche the Blues improved to a 4-2-3 record. The win was one which saw the Blues put in 3 goals and the Avalanche offense managed to counter with only a goal.

This season the Blues have managed to score at a clip of 3 goals a game on the year so far. The Blues special teams have converted at a clip of 18.5% and the special teams defense has killed off 85.2% of the opponents power plays. Defensively the Blues are giving up only 3.22 goals a game.

The Blues have been playing better defensively on the season compared to what the Kings have done. What else helps the Blues is the home ice advantage, which helps to a point, but compounded with the Kings lackluster road performances and it helps the Blues get the win. Final Score Prediction, Saint Louis Blues win 4-3.
