St. Louis Blues vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction, Odds and Picks for Sunday, 01/18/26

The St. Louis Blues are starting a three-game road trip, beginning in Edmonton against the Oilers. The Blues have won two straight games, but their road record is just 7-12-3, and they have struggled to score. They currently rank last in goals per game and average fewer than 25 shots per game. When a team isn’t shooting the puck, it’s challenging to find the back of the net. Additionally, their power play has been underwhelming, operating at just 16.8%. If they fall behind early, it could be a long night for them.

The Oilers are playing the second game of a back-to-back but are coming off a convincing 6-0 win against the Vancouver Canucks. Leon Draisaitl has returned to address a family matter and will miss his second consecutive game. While Edmonton played well without him for one night, losing a player of his calibre will impact their offence. Nevertheless, their power play is still performing effectively, and if they get scoring opportunities tonight, they should be able to capitalize. The Blues have been below average when a man down, while the Oilers have the league’s top power play. Even with Draisaitl absent and coming off a back-to-back, the Oilers should secure a victory in regulation.
