St. Louis at Los Angeles

The season numbers don't show it, but the Blues have been very consistent in producing goals since January. St. Louis has tallied at least three goals in all but four of its last 22 games. Dylan Holloway (6G,10A), Robert Thomas (5G,11A), and Jimmy Snuggerud (7G,8A) led the team in scoring for March, and the Blues have scored nine goals in their last two games. Discounting a shutout win against the hapless Canucks, the Kings are giving up an average of 4.2 goals a game during their last five games. LA just surrendered six goals to Utah in its last game this past Saturday. The Kings have changed their approach and become much more offense-minded since acquiring Artemi Panarin and making a coaching change. They have been good for at least three goals a game in nine of their last 13 games. Both teams can take advantage of each other's weaknesses in killing penalties. The Kings are 30th on the penalty kill, while the Blues rank 27th in the category. Take the OVER.
