The result vs Dallas to kick off this current road trip was not good. The Oil fell 4-1 to Dallas with the only tally on the scoresheet coming via Jujhar Khaira&#8217;s first of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Connor McDavid being out of the lineup with the flu meant the offense was muted but he&#8217;s back in the lineup tonight to take on the Blues.<\/p>\n<p>For the Blues, 2018-19 has been farrrr from picture perfect. St.Louis currently sits dead last in the Central with only 9 wins and 21 points and they&#8217;ve only scored 74 times.<\/p>\n<p>If there&#8217;s a team that the Oilers can get things turned around with tonight it&#8217;s the Blues.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keys To The Game<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Edmonton: Shots. Shots. Shots. Jake Allen and Chad Johnson both have GAAs over 3.00 and save percentages of under .900. Ken Hitchcock&#8217;s boys need to get pucks towards the net early in this one.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>St.Louis: Ride the hot hands of guys like Ryan O&#8217;Reilly and Vladamir Tarasenko, they&#8217;ve been the shining lights of this tough season (the only players on the Blues with 20 or more points).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Players To Watch<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Edmonton: In his return from whooping cough, the flu, and boneitis I want to see how the captain looks in his return to not just the team but the first line. Edmonton&#8217;s front office may need to write into Connor&#8217;s next contract in eight years that he&#8217;s not allowed to become ill.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>St.Louis: He only has one goal in 19 games this year, but if there&#8217;s any team for Patrick Maroon to get his second of the year it will be vs Edmonton.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Projected Lines<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Edmonton<\/p>\n<p>Alex Chiasson-Connor McDavid-Leon Draisaitl<\/p>\n<p>Jujhar Khaira-Ryan Nugent-Hopkins-Jesse Puljuarvi<\/p>\n<p>Milan Lucic-Kyle Broadziak-Zack Kassian<\/p>\n<p>Ryan Spooner-Patrick Russell-Ty Rattie<\/p>\n<p>Oscar Klefbom-Adam Larsson<\/p>\n<p>Darnell Nurse-Kris Russell<\/p>\n<p>Kevin Gravel-Matt Benning<\/p>\n<p>Mikko Koskinen<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>St.Louis<\/p>\n<p>Zach Sanford-Ryan O&#8217;Reilly-Robert Thomas<\/p>\n<p>David Perron-Brayden Schenn-Jordan Kyrou<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Maroon-Tyler Bozak-Vladimir Tarasenko<\/p>\n<p>Jordan Nolan-Ivan Barbashev-Oskar Sundqvist<\/p>\n<p>Joel Edmundson-Colton Parayko<\/p>\n<p>Vince Dunn-Robert Bortuzzo<\/p>\n<p>Jay Bouwmeester-Chris Butler<\/p>\n<p>Jake Allen<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other Notes<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Rumour has Anthony Maroon skated at Blues practice and could check into the St.Louis lineup tonight (possibly untrue).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Edmonton wakes up offensively to the tune of a 4-2 win thanks to two goals from Connor, and a goal each from Ryan Nugent Hopkins and Ty Rattie.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have to be quite blunt.
