St. Louis Blues vs Edmonton Oilers Game Preview

The Blues enter this contest with a 43-29-7 record, placing them fourth in the Central Division. That will likely be good enough for them to get into the playoffs, as they are the current holders of the top Wild Card spot in the Western Conference with their 93 points. Still, the Blues will be playing hard in this game and the rest of their games as they look to solidify their position in the playoffs.

On the other side, the Oilers hold a 44-28-5 record, placing them third in the Pacific Division. They also have 93 points, but are not going to have to worry about the Wild Card race in the Western Conference. Unless the Oilers experience a horrific meltdown late in the season, they will finish in the top-three in the Pacific Division standings, taking advantage of the unbalanced divisions in the West this year to make the postseason by finishing top-three in their division.

St. Louis Blues vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction

Considering the current form and statistics of both teams, the Oilers appear to have the advantage, especially playing at home. Their higher faceoff win percentage and slightly better power play efficiency could be pivotal factors. Additionally, the offensive prowess of Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid provides the Oilers with a potent scoring threat.

However, the Blues have demonstrated resilience, with Jordan Kyrou leading their offensive efforts. Goaltender Jordan Binnington's experience could also play a crucial role in keeping the game competitive.

Given these factors, the prediction leans towards an Edmonton Oilers victory, potentially by a narrow margin. Bettors might consider the Oilers on the moneyline and explore the over on total goals, anticipating a moderately high-scoring game.

As always, it's important to monitor any last-minute lineup changes or injuries that could influence the game's outcome. Engaging in responsible betting practices is recommended.
