Los Angeles at St. Louis

The Los Angeles Kings and the St. Louis Blues will play the first of a home-and-home series over their next two games. The Blues are just a point out of first place in the Central and have been playing good hockey, winning their last four. LA is the defending Stanley Cup Champion, and they sure have played like it vs. St. Louis, and own a 1-0 win at LA earlier in the season. Over the last 11 meetings, the Blues have managed to come away with just two wins. The Kings' success goes back even further as they are 17-4 in the last 21 meetings between these clubs. This has been an obviously strong matchup for the Kings who seem to be at their best when taking on St. Louis. Take the Kings.
