Oilers vs. Blues Prediction, Picks & Player Props for Tonight's NHL Game
The Edmonton Oilers haven't lost three consecutive games since dropping the first three of the season. They face the St. Louis Blues at Enterprise Center (8 p.m. ET, ESPN+) in St. Louis on Wednesday while hoping to avoid that feat.
Meanwhile, St. Louis has lived up to its namesake with the fourth-worst points percentage (.406) at home.
Our Oilers vs. Blues prediction, picks, and player props expect the visitors to return to their winning ways and beat St. Louis during regulation.

My best Oilers vs. Blues pick
Oilers 3-way ML ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Don't let the fact that the Oilers have lost four of their last seven games deter you, as the performances were much better than their record suggests. They dictated the proceedings in three of the four defeats, with the game in Vancouver against the Canucks the exception.
Kris Knoblauch's team won the expected goals battle in the other three setbacks, more than doubling up on the Washington Capitals and Detroit Red Wings. They were undone against the Toronto Maple Leafs thanks to Joseph Woll's stellar play and allowing two first-period power-play goals.
The Oilers, who are receiving the second-shortest Stanley Cup odds, won five of their last seven away games and they boast the fourth-best road points percentage (.460). And they'll march into the Enterprise Center in a sour mood after undeservedly losing consecutive games.
St. Louis is singing the blues at home
With just 11 wins from 25 games at Enterprise Center, the Blues own the fourth-worst home points percentage (.460). They've lost three straight there, and the team carries the unenviable tag of trotting out the league's most anemic home offense, where they score just 2.52 goals per game.
While their 16th-ranked defense is markedly better, the club's insipid attack piles too much pressure on Jordan Binnington. He's lost five of his last eight starts while allowing at least four goals in three of the previous five.
Overall, St. Louis has lost five of the last seven. As long as the Oilers receive adequate goaltending, I expect they'll return to form and beat St. Louis in regulation.

Best Oilers vs. Blues player prop pick
NHL picks made Tuesday; odds subject to change.
Evan Bouchard prop pick: Over 2.5 shots ⭐⭐⭐
Saying Bouchard has been taking a shoot-first mentality recently doesn't do his production justice. He's logged 14 shots in the last two games, and the blueliner has hit the Over on this prop in three of his previous four contests.
But what I like the most about this prop is Bouchard's recent production in hostile environments, where he's fired at least three shots on goal in five of the last six. Bouchard is averaging 5.3 shots per game during that span.
A winning $10 bet will profit $7.25 here. It's only a three-star play due to the expensive price.
Best odds: -138 via Betway | Implied probability: 57.98%
Connor McDavid prop pick: Over 1.5 points ⭐⭐⭐
It's been four games since McDavid recorded a two-point outing. That's the longest streak without at least two points all season. I don't expect that streak to extend, as McDavid has tallied at least two points in three of the previous four games against the Blues.
Like the Bouchard play, this is a three-star pick due to the long odds. A winning $10 bet will profit $8.47.
Best odds: -118 via Betway | Implied probability: 54.13%
