NHL Picks, Predictions & Best Bets Today, 3/8

St. Louis Blues vs. Los Angeles Kings Predictions

Big matchup in the Western Conference as it is getting late in the regular season and every game matters so much more! The Blues are fighting to stay in the hunt while the Kings are trying to tread water in their division, but teams are catching up! Los Angeles hasn’t impressed anyone lately either having lost 5 straight games or scoring just 8 goals during that losing streak. Hard to imagine they turn it around today as the Blues and Jordan Binnington have been playing much better of late winning 6 of the last 7 games. 

I see this game being lower scoring as we with the Kings boasting one of the best defensive metrics in the league allowing just 2.19 goals per game at home and going under the total in 14 of 26 home games this season. The Blues are close to 50/50 on road over/unders but with Binnington locking down offenses lately and them giving up just 11 goals over the last 5 games I have to go with the under here tonight. 

Pick: Blues & Kings Under 5.5 Goals (-120 on Caesars)
