The set-up: Both teams come in at 10-6. The Blues come in off a win in Vancouver just last night and I expect them to have a predictable letdown here vs. the an Oilers team which comes in off an OT loss to the Coyotes, after beating the Penguins in OT on the road.

The pick: The Blues average 3.43 GPG, but the Oilers only allow 2.50. The Oilers are also 5-1 in their last six vs. teams with winning records and 4-1 in their last five as a home favorite, while St. Louis is just 2-10 in its last 12 vs. clubs with winning records. Look for the rested home side to throw everything it has at the defending champs. Lay the price.
