St. Louis +125 over Edmonton 

8:00 PM EST Edmonton’s offense has been productive this season, averaging well over three goals per game, yet this game comes in a difficult scheduling spot as the Oilers are playing on the second leg of a back-to-back. Fatigue can be a real factor in the NHL, especially for road teams facing a motivated opponent on home ice. St. Louis may not have the same offensive firepower as Edmonton, but the Blues have proven capable of competing with strong Western Conference teams when the matchup and timing are favorable.

The Oilers have struggled historically when playing as road favorites in back-to-back spots, often failing to justify the price the market places on them. Meanwhile, the Blues have quietly performed well as underdogs, especially against Western Conference opponents. St. Louis has also been competitive in recent matchups despite inconsistent results, showing flashes of the defensive structure that allows them to slow down more explosive teams. Edmonton still features elite talent led by Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, but the price on the Oilers does not fully account for the scheduling disadvantage and the Blues’ home-ice opportunity. When combining those situational factors with the underdog number, backing St. Louis on the moneyline provides the stronger value here.
