Edmonton Oilers vs. St. Louis Blues: Pick
Vladimir Tarasenko has been a consistent provider for the St. Louis team in four games this season. He has two goals to his name and seven shots on target so far. The only game where his performance dipped a bit was in Game 3 against the Oilers and now, he has a chance to perform much better in a rematch. Tarasenko has scored 12 goals and provided 10 assists in his career against the Oilers.
Pick: Vladimir Tarasenko Total Shots Over 2.5 (-155)
Edmonton Oilers vs. St. Louis Blues: Prediction
The Blues have a 6-4 head-to-head advantage over the Oilers. They even won the last encounter they had in Game 3. Six out of ten games have touched the six-goal mark between the two teams.
However, the last game saw only two goals being scored from St. Louis. They are still favorites to win the game as playing at home gives them a big advantage.
Prediction: Total Under 6.5 (-115)
