On Wednesday, the Edmonton Oilers will host the St. Louis Blues in their first home game since March 29. The reigning Western Conference champions lost 3-2 to the Anaheim Ducks on Monday, marking their second straight loss after a 3-0 shutout at the hands of the LA Kings on Saturday.

Meanwhile, the Blues have continued to impress in the Central Division, winning nine of their last 10 games.

Edmonton is third in the Pacific Division, but the team has yet to clinch a spot in the playoffs. Similarly, St. Louis is fourth in the Central Division and is also looking to secure a playoff berth.

With just a handful of games left in the regular season, and both teams looking to seal the deal and punch their tickets to the postseason, Wednesday's game is poised to produce fireworks.
