The Blues have been finding ways to win but this represents their first game back from a trip out West. That's going to be tough. The Kings' recent struggles are going to have them fired up. They need a win and they know they have beaten the Blues 5 straight times. Los Angeles is better on the road than at home. The Kings 14 road wins is tied for 2nd most in the Western Conference. Their last 6 road games have come against Tampa, Florida, Carolina, Detroit, Dallas and Colorado. None of those are easy rinks. This isn't either but by comparison to Colorado, it'll seem so. Los Angeles will bounce back.
