Wednesday Night Hockey is back, and in the late game, Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers take on the St. Louis Blues.
The Edmonton Oilers have been the best team in the NHL since making their coaching change. But they've slipped up a little bit in the last few weeks going 5-4-1 in their last 10 games. That includes some bad losses to the Calgary Flames and Minnesota Wild.
Connor McDavid is leading the charge with 23 points in his last 10 games, all assists. This feels like a game where McDavid is going to open the flood gates and score at least one goal.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, you have Evander Kane with six goals and zero assists, and Zach Hyman with eight goals and two assists in their last 10 games.
The head-to-head matchup between these two teams has leaned in the direction of the Blues. They've gone 6-3-1 in their last 10 games against the Oilers, outscoring them 35-29 in those games. Edmonton is 5-11 straight up in their last 16 games against the Blues on home ice.
The stats and history indicate that this is going to be a close game.
