Oilers vs. Blues Prediction: Tuesday, February 4th

This game is easy to pick a side on but the odds just aren’t there tonight but there is an angle that can be exploited for our gain at a value! The Blues are the worst offensive team in the NHL on home ice this season scoring 2.52 per game and they’ve played down in the dumps recently as well scoring just 10 goals in their last 5 home games.

They will be unlikely to break out of their slump against the visiting Oilers, a team that allows just 2.74 goals per game away from Alberta and plays the best overall defense in the NHL according to expected goals against metrics.

Those stats have me puzzled why the line is 6.5 tonight and I understand that the Oilers can score in bunches, but the Blues are a middle of the pack defense, no slouches and they’ve gone under in 17 of 25 games this season with a push. I just don’t see 7 goals going up tonight so give me the under in this western conference matchup.
