St. Louis Blues vs Edmonton Oilers prediction

The St. Louis Blues comfortably beat the Oilers a couple of weeks ago, and they’ve outscored them 10-6 in the last two meetings, so there’s some value with the plus money based on the history. However, the Blues are in a funk at the moment and playing on the end of a back to back doesn’t help here. The Edmonton Oilers are the better team at home with the rest advantage. The Oilers are coming off a nice bounce back win over the Kings, and they’re 18-8-2 at home this season. I have no choice but to side with the Oilers, and I’ll lay the PL to shave down the price.
