Edmonton will meet St. Louis in the NHL championship game, and our site’s experts have made a prediction for this event. Can the Oilers get points in this meeting? Let’s find out.
Edmonton Oilers
Edmonton has high chances this season to make it to the playoffs considering their consistent performance throughout this season. “Oil workers”, by the way, are now located on the sixth line of the West.
It should be noted that the team is in good shape and won the last six out of eight matches. After the past two victories over Nashville (4: 2) and Arizona (7: 3), Dave Tippett’s team lost to Calgary (3: 4), although they tied the score three times during the match.
St. Louis Blues
St. Louis with great difficulty interrupted a series of three failures and defeated Calgary (5: 4 SO). Recall that previously the team was defeated by Philadelphia (3: 4 OT), Colorado (3: 5) and Vancouver (1: 3).
But even such a series of defeats, “Musicians” can afford, as they are in first place in the West and have eight points of advantage over the second position. We emphasize that in a short period of time, the Blues will hold their fourth away meeting.
Edmonton Oilers vs St. Louis Blues prediction
We believe that the meeting will be productive, because both Edmonton and St. Louis have recently played offensive hockey not paying much attention to defence and are not afraid to concede. Moreover, for “Musicians” this meeting will be the fourth in a row on the road, so it is possible that more than five goals will be scored again. However, since the hosts have never managed to oppose the Blues this season, we will bet on the guests. Our prediction for the game is the victory of St. Louis considering the overtime and shootouts plus match total over 5.5.
