Stephen Nover's Parlay of the Week
(NHL) St. Louis vs. Edmonton, 10/20/2016 5:00 PM, Score: 1 - 3
Money Line: -116.00 St. Louis (Away)
Result: Loss
The Blues have won six of their last seven in Edmonton and are 20-8 in their last 28 away matchups.

St. Louis is the stronger defensive team, has a red hot star in Vladimir Tarasenko and should have Jaden Schwartz back for the first time this season to further bolster its offense. The Blues shouldn't lack incentive after blowing a lead in a loss to Vancouver two days ago especially Nail Yakupov, who the Oilers traded to the Blues before the start of the season. Yakupov could live up to his potential with the Blues.

Edmonton has given up 15 goals, most in the Western Conference. Oilers goalie CamTalbot has been hot and cold. His concentration may be off after his wife gave birth to twins on Wednesday.
