A pair of defensive-first teams meet in Los Angeles. The Blues are playing the second of a back-to-back road spot, off a 4-3 shootout loss at Anaheim, so they won't want to speed up the pace. St. Louis is #12 in goals allowed, third in penalty killing, on a 5-3-1 run UNDER the total, including 4-0-1 UNDER when playing on no days rest. Los Angeles is in first place with a great defense, third in goals allowed and #11 in penalty killing. Jake Muzzin and Jeff Carter scored third-period goals and Lecavalier had a key assist in Los Angeles' 2-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday. The Kings are 17-7-7 UNDER the total at home, as well as 14-4-13 UNDER when playing on one day of rest. The Kings won 3-0 at St. Louis in the first meeting, so don't look for many goals in the rematch. Play this one to finish UNDER.
