We’ve got only two games on the NHL betting slate tonight, including a Western Conference clash between the Edmonton Oilers and St Louis Blues.

I’m expecting a bounce back from the Oilers forgetting walloped by the Stars last night. 

The Oilers' team goal total will be the feature for Oilers vs. Blues predictions and NHL picks for Friday, March 13. 

Oilers vs Blues prediction

Oilers vs Blues best bet: Oilers TT Over 3.5 goals (-110)

If there’s one thing the Edmonton Oilers have done well this year, it’s score goals. Edmonton averages 3.53 goals per game this season, tied for the second-most in the league. 

The Oilers’ posted goal total tonight is set at 3.5, which is a number they’ve eclipsed in six of their last eight contests. 

After losing an important match to Dallas last night, I’m expecting a bounce back against the St. Louis Blues tonight, a team with an .883 SV% this season, and the seventh-highest GAA in the NHL.
