Prediction and Conclusion
Both teams have been struggling lately, but Edmonton is in a much better situation. First of all, they have two of the best players in the league and know how to bounce back after a crisis. The Oilers recently lost three straight games, and we can expect them to go in full seed now. The Blues are on a road trip and lost 4-2 last night against the Winnipeg Jets. They have been playing well in recent seasons against the Oilers, winning 8 of the last 12 games against them, but that fact will not make any difference tonight. The Oilers need this win, and they will take control early in the game, which will lead them to a comfortable win.
