This is a 10* on OVER

It’s been two very different starts to the NHL season put forth by these clubs. We saw that on full display Saturday night when the Blues waxed the Kings 7-3 here in St. Louis. The win gave the Blues a 4-0 start to 2021-22. The loss leaves the Kings at 1-3-1 overall and they’ve lost four in a row. While Monday night’s rematch may not see the same number of goals scored on Saturday, we still like the Over here. Saturday wasn’t the first time St. Louis scored seven goals in a game this season. They also did it last Monday in Arizona. They’ve scored five or more times in three of their four games and at least three goals in every game. All 20 skaters that have seen ice time have registered a point. Los Angeles may not be scoring as much, but they are getting off a good number of shots per game (36.8). If they continue to do so, then you have to figure that the goals will come. Overshadowed by getting blown out Saturday night is that the Kings did score three goals of their own. The Blues might be using a backup goalie tonight. The Over is 16-7-2 when the Kings allowed five or more goals in their previous game. Play on OVER
