Oilers vs Blues Prediction, Props, Odds & Projected Starting Goalies (Friday. Mar. 13)

• Edmonton is 7-0 in its last seven road games against teams with a losing home record
• St. Louis is 5-0-1 in its last six games, including a 3-1 upset of Carolina on Thursday
• See my Oilers vs Blues prediction and props below, plus odds and projected starting goalies for Friday’s game

The Edmonton Oilers (32-26-8) wrap up a four-game road trip Friday night at Enterprise Center against the St. Louis Blues (26-29-10). Edmonton is 4-7-0 in its last 11 games and coming off a brutal 7-2 loss in Dallas on Thursday. St. Louis has been the opposite, riding a 5-0-1 points streak that includes Thursday’s 3-1 win over the league-leading Hurricanes.

Both rosters look different than a month ago. The Oilers added Connor Murphy and Jason Dickinson at the deadline. The Blues shipped out Brayden Schenn and Justin Faulk while bringing in Jonathan Drouin.

Puck drop is at 8 pm ET on ESPN+. Here are my Oilers vs Blues prediction and props.

St. Louis is playing well, but I’m still taking Edmonton for my Oilers vs Blues prediction. The talent gap is too wide. Connor McDavid leads the NHL with 110 points, Evan Bouchard has 16 points during a nine-game streak, and Leon Draisaitl has 15 points across a seven-game run of his own.

Oilers vs Blues Key Stats

Edmonton’s power play is the best in the NHL at 32.6%, and St. Louis’ PK sits at 74.6% (29th). That’s a massive special teams mismatch. The Oilers also dominate in the faceoff circle (52.9% vs 49.6%) and generate nearly five more shots per game (29.65 to 25.03).

The 7-2 loss in Dallas was ugly, but the Oilers are 7-0 in their last seven road games against teams with a losing home record. St. Louis is 14-12-7 at home and just 4-10 as a home favorite this season. Edmonton’s firepower should be the difference.

Oilers vs Blues Props

I’m kicking off my Oilers vs Blues props with an Oilers forward riding shotgun on McDavid’s line.

Hyman has exceeded 2.5 shots on goal in four of his last five back-to-back games, averaging 3.2 shots per contest in those spots. He’s on Edmonton’s top line with McDavid and gets premium offensive zone starts every night.

St. Louis allows 27.83 shots per game, and at -116 odds this is near pick’em juice on a high-volume shooter in a favorable matchup.

Thomas leads the Blues with 43 points (15 goals, 28 assists) and has been on fire in March with four goals and five assists across five games. He has 74 shots on goal this season and has cleared 1.5 in four of his last six, including totals of five and three in back-to-back outings.

Wrapping up my Oilers vs Blues props, the 26-year-old dealt with an upper-body issue after the Islanders game on March 10 but was cleared to play against Carolina. At -118, he’s locked in and firing.

Oilers vs Blues Odds

Odds as of March 13 via consensus sportsbooks. Check out the BetMGM promo code to bet on tonight’s NHL odds.

The Oilers vs Blues odds have Edmonton as a moderate road favorite at -154, which translates to roughly a 61% implied probability. St. Louis is around +130, giving the Blues about a 43% implied chance. The home team has won seven of the last eight meetings, but that trend may be overstated given how different both rosters look after the deadline. The under has hit in six of the last seven meetings and five of six in St. Louis.

Oilers vs Blues Projected Starting Goalies

Ingram vs Hofer Stats

Neither starter has been confirmed, but Ingram backed up Jarry in Thursday’s loss in Dallas, so he should be fresh. A second-period collision forced Ingram out of Tuesday’s win in Colorado, but his presence on the bench Thursday confirmed he’s been cleared. He shut out the Blues 5-0 on January 18 with 27 saves.

Hofer has been outstanding lately, going 4-0-1 with a .948 save percentage and 1.59 GAA in his last five starts. He’s a big reason St. Louis has stayed in the playoff race. Rookie Jimmy Snuggerud has also been a factor, recording four straight multi-point games (five goals, four assists) heading into Friday.
