This is an 8* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the St. Louis Blues.
Sometimes we feel that it's necessary to completely dissect a game, looking at situational, motivational and other trend based factors and other times we believe that a more "common sense" approach is the best way to handicap a contest, and that's definitely the case here. The Blues are finding ways to win despite a number of key injuries, most recently David Backes posted his first two goals of the season in a 3-2 OT win over the Wild on Saturday. The Kings had been the hottest team in the league until falling 4-2 in Chicago just last night (we had the Hawks in that one) and suffice it to say, we definitely feel that this sets up as a classic "letdown" spot for the visiting side in the second game of the back-to-back scenario. Also note that the visitors are expected to start backup goaltender Jhonas Enroth in place of the now tired Jon Quick. We'll give the nod to the red hot Jake Allen between the pipes. Note that LA is just 18-21 (-9.6 units) after a loss by two goals or more in its previous contest, while St. Louis is 18-11 (+3.6 units) after playing three consecutive home games. Play on the BLUES.
