The Los Angeles Kings (22-15-9) take on the St. Louis Blues (25-20-2) in a Sunday matinee at Enterprise Center. Puck drop is set for 2 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Kings'vs. Blues odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.
The Kings are just 1-4-1 in their last 6 after a 5-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche Friday. G Cam Talbot was chased after allowing 3 goals on 12 shots in the 1st period. He is 0-6-2 with a 4.28 GAA this month. The good news, though, is the Kings have beaten the Blues 5 straight times — including a 5-1 demolition out West on Nov. 18.
This isn’t the same Blues team, though. They’ve won 4 straight for the 1st time this season, and the last 2 games in overtime heroics. You could actually say the last 3 were because RW Brandon Saad delivered the game-winner with 48 seconds to go in regulation against the Calgary Flames on Tuesday. The Blues are 12-6-1 under interim head coach Drew Bannister.
