Edmonton at St. Louis

Young Edmonton is impressive, rebuilding quickly with a winning road mark and ranked #11 in goals scored, #10 on the power play, and ninth in goals allowed. They've dropped two in a row by one goal each time, but are still on a 12-8 run, winning four times as a dog. The Oilers are also 13-3 when their opponent scores two or fewer goals in their previous game. St. Louis has been outscored on the season with a soft defense at #23 in goals allowed. They are in transition this week after trading Kevin Shattenkirk to Washington late Monday night. He ranks fourth among all NHL defensemen this season with 42 points in 60 games. The Blues have lost their last three games, after starting 7-1 under new coach Mike Yeo. St. Louis is also 7-16 when playing on one day of rest. The Blues could be without forward Ryan Reaves, who hurt his foot blocking a shot on Sunday. Reaves did not participate during Monday's practice. St. Louis is on a 13-4-4 run OVER the total at home, plus 6-1-4 OVER when their opponent allows five goals or more in their previous game. Look for the talented visitors to steal a win or keep it real close in an offensive show. Play Edmonton on the puckline and take the OVER.
