Prop Bets: Los Angeles Kings VS St Louis Blues 2025-10-21
The Kings’ Quest for Glory (or at Least a Win) vs. the Blues’ Home Ice Ambition
The Los Angeles Kings, fresh off a four-game losing streak and a goal differential that screams “we’re not even close” (-7), will try to avoid becoming the first team in NHL history to lose 5 straight while scoring 16 goals. Meanwhile, the St. Louis Blues, 3-2 overall but 1-2-0 at home, will lean on their -1.5-goal spread favorite status (implied probability: ~59%) to finally earn their first home win.
The Numbers Don’t Lie (Well, They Do, But Let’s Try Anyway):
- Moneyline: Blues at -117 (implied 51.7%) vs. Kings at +210 (45.5%).
- Spread: Blues -1.5 (-280) vs. Kings +1.5 (+220).
- Total: 5.5 goals. Over (1.83 odds) is the slight favorite, implying a 53.8% chance of a high-scoring slugfest.
Player Props to Watch (Because Why Not?):
1. Adrian Kempe (Kings) to Score a Goal: With the Kings averaging just 2.66 goals per game, Kempe’s 14.3% chance (based on his 2 goals in 14 games this season) feels like a Hail Mary. Bet against him unless you enjoy regret.
2. Jimmy Snuggerud (Blues) to Score a Goal: Snuggerud’s 18.2% odds (1 goal in 6 games) make him a “safe” prop pick… if you’re into backing underachievers.
The Verdict:
The Blues are the chalk here, but the Kings’ +210 moneyline is tempting for those who thrive on chaos. If you’re feeling spicy, take the Kings +1.5 at +220—because why not back a team that’s literally the underdog in every sense?
Final Prediction:
The Blues win 4-2, Snuggerud scores, Kempe doesn’t, and the Over 5.5 hits because someone has to make this game exciting. Bet the Blues (-1.5) and Over 5.5… and maybe a small amount on Snuggerud just to spite logic.
