Oilers vs Blues Prediction

For a moneyline pick, I’m taking the Blues to pick up on a win over the Oilers at home. With the moneyline sitting at +161, I’ll be locking in a bet on the Blues straight-up.

If you’re looking to get a bet down on this matchup, we foresee the Blues winning the underdog. However, if you’re not as confident in the Blues straight-up, we’d still recommend placing a bet on them to cover the puck line.

If you’re looking at the the over/under line set at 6.5 goals, our prediction is that this game will stay below that threshold, and we strongly suggest placing a bet on the under.
