Blues vs Kings

The Los Angeles Kings, led by captain Anže Kopitar, are set to host the St. Louis Blues at Crypto.com Arena. The Kings have been strong at home this season, boasting a 17-8-4 record. However, they are coming off a recent 4-1 loss to the Blues on March 1, where St. Louis' Jordan Kyrou notched two goals. The Blues have been inconsistent on the road, with a 14-12-3 record, and are dealing with the absence of defenseman Torey Krug due to injury. Given Los Angeles' home-ice advantage and their motivation to avenge the recent loss, a moneyline bet on the Kings at -160 is advisable, earning a prediction grade of B+.​
