In the first games of the season, Craig Berube’s team shows itself as one of the strongest teams in the Western Conference. The competition there is not great, so the Blues and Colorado and Winnipeg are probably among the top favourites. In four meetings, St. Louis have scored 22 goals and never converted a game into overtime. The latest victim was just the Los Angeles Kings, who received a 3-7 win in Missouri. David Perron recorded a hat trick.
Los Angeles were missing Doughty
Drew Doughty was unable to participate in the game against St Louis the day before yesterday. In the absence of his star defenceman, Todd McLellan was forced to shake up his defensive lineup. Seven missed shots spoke for themselves. Los Angeles are still a team very dependent on the form of their leaders.
The loss to the Blues was the fourth straight for the Kings. And the beautiful 6-2 home win over Vegas in the first game of the season remains the only one for LAK in the new championship.
Expert Betting Tips
Still, the Kings can’t be competitive in today’s format just yet. Even an injury to one Drew Doughty is having the most devastating effect on the Kings. Most likely, and in the upcoming matchup, as the day before yesterday, St. Louis, if not defeat their opponent, will surely beat them. In contrast to Los Angeles, the Blues are more than okay for the new season.
The prediction is a win for St Louis.
