#45 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Edmonton Oilers -115 on the Money Line over St Louis Blues, Wednesday at 8:05 PM ET - This is a great early season set-up filled with value. Blues got off to a hot start this season and were 3-0 before a shutout loss at Winnipeg in their most recent game. However, here are a couple of keys. St Louis has averaged scoring only 1 goal last two games. The Blue have only played one team that was a playoff team from last season and that was the Oilers at Edmonton last week. Yes, St Louis won that game 2-0 but it included an empty net goal and was truly a game that could have gone either way. It was evenly played 5 on 5 but the Blues got a power play goal. That of course makes this a revenge game and then you look at the Oilers schedule and they have already played 4 playoff teams from last season! Edmonton is off of a big win over Pittsburgh and that is a momentum boost for this club as they now head on the road for the first time this season. The odds makers are sharp, of course, and it is with good reason that Edmonton is favored here on the road for this one! Other than their shutout loss at home to these Blues, the Oilers have scored an average of 4.4 goals per game in their other 5 games. They are so dangerous offensively and they will have a different gameplan here for the rematch and we don't see the Blues as being able to keep up in this one. Look for the firepower (and determination!) of revenge-minded Edmonton to prove to be too much in this one! Lay it! We think we’re getting some nice value getting this revenging road team at a great price of just -115 in this one with the Oilers as it is the perfect set-up for an away win.
