Although both teams have been having difficulties recently, Edmonton is in a far stronger position. They possess two of the finest players in the league, to start, and they have proven their ability to recover from setbacks. The Oilers are currently expected to start with a full seed because they have lost three games in a row. The Blues, who are currently traveling, fell to the Winnipeg Jets 4-2 Friday night. Even though they have won 8 of their last 12 games against the Oilers, they have been playing well against them recently. However, that won't matter tonight. The Oilers are desperate for this victory, and they'll seize the initiative early on and cruise to victory.
