Los Angeles Kings vs. St. Louis Blues: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

Entering Wednesday, the St. Louis Blues (33-29-3) sit eight points out of the second Wild Card in the Western Conference, while the LA Kings (33-20-11) are third in the Pacific Division on 77 points.

Let's get into some predictions and picks for tonight's matchup, courtesy of our friends at Daily Faceoff.

Los Angeles Kings vs. St. Louis Blues prediction

The St. Louis Blues are hanging on to their playoff hopes by the skin of their teeth. As of Tuesday night, they are trailing Vegas by eight points and Nashville by nine. The Blues only have 17 games to catch those two teams. That’s why tonight’s tilt against the Kings is so important.

This is a fairly even matchup. The Kings have 31 wins in regulation and overtime while the Blues have 30, despite being eight points behind the Kings in the standings. Neither team is playing their best hockey at the moment. The Blues have a slight advantage as they are playing on home ice. They are 2-0 in their last two home games and are 2-0 ATS.

I think this is going to be a close, low scoring, tight checking affair. The Kings play a passive 1-3-1 system in the neutral zone which makes it very difficult to generate offence against. LA is 20th in the NHL in goals for while St. Louis is 25th.
