T.M. Selection: Edmonton Oilers.

I like the Edmonton Oilers to win this game against the St. Louis Blues on Friday. The Oilers have looked a lot better lately and they have won 2 games in a row now after getting beaten down 9-5 by the Flames last weekend. Despite that loss, they have still won 3/4 of their previous 4 games and they have scored 4+ goals in 4 games in a row now. They just beat the Kings in a shootout in their most recent game but they are on home ice again here and the Blues haven't been great lately. I think the Oilers are going to be motivated to keep on their run here and win another game making it 3 in a row. The Blues have won 2 games in a row now but both of those wins were against the same team, the Canucks, and the Canucks aren't really 1 of the top teams this season, they aren't even on course to make the playoffs this year. The Blues actually lost 5/6 of their previous 6 games before those 2 wins and I think they are going to revert back to that play here against a much better team. Both of these teams are still fighting to keep their playoff spots but I think the Blues have been looking shaky lately while the Oilers have been trying to get hot with a lot more wins lately. I see there being a lot of goals here but I think the Oilers offense has been rolling lately and I expect them to stay hot while the Blues have shown to have scoring troubles in some of their games lately. I like the Oilers to win here.

T.M. Prediction: 5-3 Oilers.
