Analysis
Western Conference Game of the Month. My selection is on St. Louis over Los Angeles at 9:05 pm et on Wednesday. The Blues opened up this critical western road swing with a 5-4 loss in San Jose on Monday. I'm confident we'll see them bounce back on Wednesday as they make a stop in Los Angeles. The Kings are in the thick of the Western Conference playoff race but 'race' is a term I use lightly. Los Angeles has lost five of its last six games and checks in off a 6-2 defeat against the Mammoth here on home ice on Saturday. Note that the Kings are a miserable 10-25-8 on home ice this season, where they've been outscored by 0.7 goals on average. It hasn't really mattered where the Blues have played lately, they've been battling hard to get back into the playoff picture, going 10-4 over their last 14 contests. As healthy as any team in the league right now, St. Louis is well-positioned to keep pushing down the stretch. While the Kings have taken both previous meetings in this series this season, both contests needed at least overtime to decide. Take St. Louis (10*).
