St. Louis is back home following a rough three-game trip, which ended with a 4-3 shootout loss at Buffalo. Edmonton has lost three of its last five following a 6-3 defeat at Vegas on Sunday. The Blues are jockeying for position in the playoffs and have a two-point lead on Dallas for third place in the Central Division while the Oilers' playoff hopes are dwindling fast. St. Louis won the last meeting 4-1 in December and it will likely go up against Edmonton goalie Mikko Koskinen, who has allowed 12 goals his last three starts, including all six against the Golden Knights. Jordan Binnington is expected in goal for the Blues and he has a 17-4-1 record and 1.77 goals-against average and .931 save percentage. He was the winner in a 5-1 victory at Pittsburgh on Saturday. The Blues have won seven of their last nine home games and the Oilers are 28-58 their last 86 games after allowing at least five goals their previous game. Take the Blues.
