The Oilers are entering this game with 72 points, a 32-25-8 record overall, and they are 16-14-4 in their road games this season where they will be in this game.

Their offense has scored 231 goals this season averaging 3.6 goals per game and their defense has allowed their opponents to score 221 goals against them allowing 3.4 goals per game.

The Blues are entering this game with 60 points, a 25-29-10 record overall, and they are 14-12-7 in their home games this season where they will be in this game. They are entering this game off a loss against the New York Islanders in their last game, losing that one at home 4-3 in overtime, but this is also the 2nd game of a back-to-back for them with their game against the Carolina Hurricanes still to be played on Thursday night.

The current betting odds have the Oilers listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Oilers have looked good in their games this season with their 32-25-8 record overall which has them in the top half of their division in the West. They haven't been a great road team though with their 16-14-4 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Blues have looked terrible in their games this season with their 25-29-10 record overall which has them right near the bottom of their division in the West. They haven't looked great on home ice either with their 14-12-7 home record this season. The Blues have looked better on home ice this year than they have been on the road, but they still haven't looked great and have been one of the worst teams in the West this season. They are way out of the Wild Card race in the West and it doesn't look like things are going to turn around for them. They are off a loss to the Islanders in their last one and they haven't looked that great lately either, going 5-4-1 in their last 10 games. The Oilers haven't looked any better lately either, going 4-6-0 in their last 10 games, but they have been playing better now in their last few and they still have a lot more talent as they are a playoff team in the West. The Oilers are also off a win over the Avalanche in their last one and they have some momentum on their side with 2 wins in a row. The Oilers aren't in the best situation here since they are playing this game on a back-to-back and have a really tough game against the Stars the night before, but the Blues are also on a back-to-back and their game against the Hurricanes the night before isn't any easier. These two teams are trending in opposite directions as the playoffs near, so look for the Oilers to keep rolling. The best way to place a bet here is on the Oilers to win this game.
