Blues Looking to Continue Recent Momentum
The St. Louis Blues come into this contest with a 26-29-10 overall record and a 14-12-7 record at home this season. St. Louis has been playing improved hockey recently, having recently won over Carolina 3-1, won over Anaheim 4-0, won over San Jose 3-2 in overtime, and won over Seattle 3-2 while also recently losing to the NY Islanders 4-3 in overtime.

One area the Blues have relied on is their ability to grind out close games. Several of their recent wins have been tight contests, and when St. Louis is able to slow the pace and limit scoring chances, they can remain competitive even against high-powered offensive teams.
Edmonton Oilers vs St. Louis Blues Pick
Edmonton Oilers vs St. Louis Blues Pick
- Edmonton Oilers -1.5
Edmonton brings one of the most explosive offenses in the league into this matchup and faces a Blues defense that has struggled throughout the season. With St. Louis allowing over three goals per game and Edmonton’s power play operating at an elite level, the Oilers should be able to generate plenty of scoring opportunities. Edmonton’s offensive depth and ability to capitalize on special teams gives them the edge in this matchup.
Edmonton Oilers vs St. Louis Blues Total Pick
- Over 6.5
I like the over in this matchup because Edmonton games often turn into high-scoring contests. The Oilers’ offense is capable of putting up several goals on its own, while their defense has also allowed more than three goals per game. With both teams capable of finding the net and Edmonton pushing the pace, I expect this game to reach at least seven goals.
Final Score Prediction: Edmonton Oilers 4, St. Louis Blues 3
