Edmonton Oilers vs. St. Louis Blues preview

The red-hot Blues roll into Rogers Place tonight riding a remarkable nine wins in their last ten games, looking to strengthen their grip on the Western Conference's top wild card position against an Oilers squad that's hit a rough patch with back-to-back losses.

While St. Louis has been stingy defensively, surrendering just 25 goals in their last 13 outings, they'll face a serious challenge against Edmonton's high-powered offense that averages 3.17 goals per game with an NHL-leading 2,477 shots this season.

Jordan Binnington has been rock-solid between the pipes for the Blues with a .902 save percentage, but he'll have his work cut out trying to contain the Oilers' offensive threats led by Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Zach Hyman who've combined for 47 goals this season.

The Blues' dynamic duo of Robert Thomas and Jordan Kyrou (54 goals, 87 assists combined) should give Edmonton's defense fits if they continue their electric form.

This clash of styles features St. Louis's blue-collar defensive approach against Edmonton's run-and-gun offensive philosophy – something's gotta give!

Keep an eye on Evan Bouchard, who's been a revelation on Edmonton's blue line, contributing significantly at both ends of the ice with his offensive production from the point and 9.3 defensive point shares.

With both teams fighting for playoff positioning in a tight Western Conference race, expect a low-scoring, tactical affair where special teams could make the difference – the Oilers boast a formidable 24.62% success rate on the power play.

If recent trends hold, the Blues' suffocating defense might just be the perfect kryptonite for Edmonton's high-flying attack at Rogers Place.
