Oilers vs. Blues Preview, Prediction
By Dana Forden
The Oilers' Leon Draisaitl is averaging 2.92 shots per game this season and three shots per game since the start of the 2023-24 season.
In that time, he has been under this line (Under 2.5 shots) in 73 of 165 games (44.2%).
St. Louis does not have a good record this season, but that is largely because of goaltending. However, when it comes to shots, they are not a good matchup for Draisaitl.
They have defended shots 9% better than league average this season and 4% better than average last season.
Historically, St. Louis has done a great job at staying out of the penalty box, which is bad for Draisaitl, who creates a ton of offense on the power play. This game is also in St. Louis.
Best Bet: Leon Draisaitl Under 2.5 Shots On Goal (+140, bet365)
