About the Oilers: The last time the Blues played here, Alexander Steen suffered a high-ankle sprain that sidelined him for 16 games, and Robby Fabbri was traded to Detroit after the Nov. 6 game. The Blues won 5-2, a deceptive score because the last two goals were empty-netters. The Blues then beat Edmonton 2-1 on Dec. 18 in St. Louis, so the Oilers are trying to avoid a season sweep in the three-game series.
Edmonton is coming off an emotional, hard-fought 4-3 shootout loss Wednesday to Calgary in the Battle of Alberta — the Oilers’ first game following the All-Star break. Calgary-Edmonton is the NHL’s hottest rivalry, and the Oilers are in Calgary on Saturday to play the Flames. Will they be caught looking ahead against the Blues?
As always, it starts and ends for Edmonton with Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, who are tied for the NHL scoring lead with 27 goals and 50 assists apiece.
