Blues host Oilers, seek to end home losing streak

The Edmonton Oilers, who currently hold a record of 32-16-4, are set to face the St. Louis Blues on the road after a challenging homestand where they lost their final two games, including a close 4-3 match against Toronto. Edmonton's potent offense, averaging 3.29 goals per game, will be led by stars Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Meanwhile, the Blues (24-25-4) are struggling at home with an 11-13-1 record and aim to end a three-game home losing streak. They recently secured a 2-1 victory against Utah Hockey Club, which could provide a much-needed boost. Blues coach Jim Montgomery has made changes to the lineup, reuniting key players to enhance offensive output. This matchup is crucial as the Blues seek to improve their playoff positioning while the Oilers aim to solidify their lead in the Pacific Division.
