| | | ST LOUIS: LAST SEASON: 52-23-7, 111 points. Tied for third overall in Western Conference, lost in first round to Chicago.
COACH: Ken Hitchcock, third full season with Blues. 124-55-20. 657-405-178 overall in 18 seasons, seventh on career win list.
ADDED: C Paul Stastny, C Jori Lehtera, D Carl Gunnarsson, C Colin Fraser, F Robby Fabbri.
LOST: G Ryan Miller, D Roman Polak, F Vladimir Sobotka, F Brenden Morrow.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Jaden Schwartz. Signing Stastny in free agency creates open ice for everyone else. Schwartz led team at plus-28 last season and scored 25 goals.
OUTLOOK: They've been among the NHL's best regular-season teams the last few seasons, and one of the stingiest, too. Last season they allowed the third-fewest goals, plus defensemen Alex Pietrangelo and Kevin Shattenkirk are highly productive joining the rush. They appear to have enough firepower to contend for an ever-elusive first Stanley Cup, although as usual there's plenty of competition at the top of the Western Conference. | | EDMONTON: LAST SEASON: 29-44-7, 67 points, finished 14th in the Western Conference and missed the playoffs.
COACH: Dallas Eakins, second season with the Oilers, 29-44-7.
ADDED: D Mark Fayne, D Nikita Nikitin, F Benoit Pouliot, F Teddy Purcell.
LOST: D Anton Belov, C Sam Gagner, LW Ryan Smyth.
PLAYER TO WATCH: Justin Schultz: The Oilers signed the defenseman to a one-year, $3,675,000 deal on Aug. 29. Why one year? ''Justin is going to be a great player and a great Oiler. What we wanted to do as an organization is buy ourselves a little bit of time to negotiate a long-term deal,'' general manager Craig MacTavish said. ''We as an organization wanted a little more information, fully aware information can be expensive.''
OUTLOOK: Six straight years of drafting in the top 10 and stockpiling high-end young talent without showing tangible on-ice improvement tends to create skepticism. |

*Blues-Oilers Preview* ======================
By TAYLOR BECHTOLD STATS Writer
St. Louis (39-18-4) at Edmonton (18-34-10), 10:00 p.m. EDT
A five-game road swing to open a stretch with 11 of 14 away from home would be a difficult challenge for most clubs. That might not be the case for a St. Louis Blues team that's playing its best hockey on the road.
After opening their trip with a victory, the Blues look to nail down their ninth win in 10 road games Saturday night with their fifth in a row at the Western Conference-worst Edmonton Oilers.
St. Louis (39-18-4) lost some ground in its bid to win the Central Division during a 1-3-0 homestand before getting back on track with Thursday's 2-1 shootout win at Winnipeg.
The Blues, seven points back of NHL-best Nashville in the Central with a game in hand, are 8-1-0 on the road since Jan. 3. That's a trend they hope to continue with only three games in St. Louis until March 28.
"(The road trip) starts another part of the season for us, another chapter," goaltender Brian Elliott told the team's official website after stopping 30 shots Thursday.
Elliott has gone 0-3-0 with a 4.72 goals-against average in his past three home starts, but he's 6-1-0 with a 2.11 mark and one shutout over his last seven on the road. Now the veteran could get an opportunity to improve on his 5-0-0 record and 1.57 GAA in five career starts in Edmonton.
Jake Allen, who had a personal six-game winning streak snapped in Tuesday's 5-2 home loss to Montreal, will likely be in net for one of back-to-back games as St. Louis visits Vancouver on Sunday.
The Blues have dominated the series with Edmonton recently, going 16-2-1 in the last 19 meetings following a 4-2 home win Jan. 13. They've also outscored the Oilers 19-4 while winning the past four at Rexall Place.
Vladimir Tarasenko has played well against the Oilers, finishing with a goal and an assist in each of his last four matchups. The right wing ranks among the league leaders with 31 goals, though he has only three in his past 15 road games.
Jaden Schwartz has only scored once in his last 10 overall, but he's had four goals over his last five versus Edmonton. T.J. Oshie also has contributed two goals and five assists in his past three meetings.
Edmonton (18-34-10) looks to win back-to-back games for just the second time since early November. The Oilers ended a two-game slide with Tuesday's 2-1 victory at previously red-hot Minnesota.
"We come in here and win the game, so for us it's always fun," left wing Benoit Pouliot said. "We've just got to keep it rolling."
After scoring once over his previous 11 contests, Pouliot provided both goals in the first period. He also had the team's only two scores in the last meeting with the Blues, as the Oilers managed a season-low 15 shots on Allen. Pouliot missed a 4-3 overtime loss at St. Louis on Nov. 28 with a broken foot.
Ben Scrivens allowed four goals on 29 shots in the January loss and is 0-2-1 with a 4.61 GAA in his last three against the Blues, though he's expected to get a chance to build on Tuesday's 33-save performance.
Nail Yakupov could provide a boost for Edmonton if he's able to return after sitting Tuesday due to a groin injury. The winger has four goals and four assists over his last eight games.
