Blues vs Oilers Prediction

If you’re looking for a moneyline bet in this one, we have the Oilers coming out on top. However, with the lines sitting at -271, I’d recommend looking to the puck line as our projections have the Oilers winning by more than one goal.

When it comes to a puck line pick, our choice is the Oilers to secure the win and cover. Expect the Oilers to dominate this one with a multi-goal win over the Blues.

With an over/under line sitting at 6 goals, we like this game to surpass that mark and recommend getting a bet down on the over.
