Edmonton Oilers vs St Louis Blues<\/h2>\n

Head-to-Head: Oilers 1-1 Blues<\/h3>\n

How to Watch<\/a>:\u00a0<\/span>US TV: Hulu; ESPN+. Canada TV: Sportsnet.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Time: <\/strong>8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)<\/p>\n

It’s another quiet night on the ice and we have one game in this round of NHL predictions. The Edmonton Oilers<\/a> continue their Midwest swing with a game against the St Louis Blues<\/a> on Friday night. Both teams played on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

However, the two teams had different nights on Thursday evening. Edmonton struggled in a 7-2 loss to the Dallas Stars<\/a> in a rematch of the last two Western Conference Finals. Frustrations boiled over for the Oilers in that game.<\/p>\n

St Louis seems likely to miss the Stanley Cup Playoffs. However, the Blues did score a 3-1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes.<\/a> We saw the Blues do a bit of selling at the deadline, but nothing as major as some speculated.<\/p>\n

Let’s take a look at the statistics and storylines in this round of NHL predictions.<\/p>\n

The Oilers Story<\/h3>\n

Edmonton had a night to forget against Dallas in the third and final encounter between the two teams. Goaltending and defence have been a struggle this campaign, and both areas will have to improve if the Oilers want to make a third consecutive Stanley Cup Final.<\/p>\n

Connor Ingram<\/a> is the projected starter for Edmonton but always check social media before locking in a daily fantasy starter. Ingram is 9-6-1 with a 2.47 goals-against-average but has an .894 save percentage this season.<\/span><\/p>\n

Connor McDavid<\/a>, who has 110 points so far this season, actually dropped the gloves in the loss to Dallas. Leon Draisaitl<\/a> is also just five points away from reaching the 100-point mark.<\/p>\n
