Edmonton Oilers vs St. Louis Blues Betting Preview
The Edmonton Oilers look to build momentum when they visit the struggling St. Louis Blues on Monday night at Enterprise Center. Puck drop is set for 8:30 p.m. ET on ESPN+.
Edmonton (6-4-3) has steadied after a slow start, while St. Louis (3-7-2) has dropped seven straight. Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch said his group is “still finding its identity” after several offseason changes, but their attack remains lethal with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl leading the way.

Public money is backing the Oilers at roughly 70 percent, but sharper bettors have shown mild interest in the home underdog. The total has seen balanced action after both clubs played lower-scoring games last week.
Matchup Breakdown
Edmonton’s offense finally looks like itself again. McDavid had three assists in Saturday’s win over Chicago, and Draisaitl has piled up nine points in five games. Edmonton ranks top-10 in goals per game and third on the power play.
St. Louis, meanwhile, has struggled to generate chances. The Blues average only 2.4 goals per game and rank near the bottom in shot differential. They’ve been out-shot in eight straight outings.
Both sides lean heavily on their top pairings. The Oilers’ puck movement from the back end has improved with Evan Bouchard’s breakout, while the Blues need Jordan Kyrou and Pavel Buchnevich to spark their offense.
