The Oilers will face the Blues in St. Louis tonight, and Connor McDavid's next point he records will be the 1,100th of his illustrious NHL career. The <a href='https://www.nhl.com/oilers/news/preview-oilers-at-blues-11-03-25' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Edmonton Oilers kick-start a pair of back-to-back matches on the road</a> Monday night at Enterprise Center vs. the St. Louis Blues, with a feeling in the Oilers' locker room that maybe the best hockey is yet to come. Despite the fact that the players and coaching staff may feel that the progress has been slow, the Oilers are actually riding a streak of 4-1-2 in their previous seven outings, having won a hard-fought 3-2 overtime decision over the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday evening at Rogers Place in Edmonton. This marked the final contest of a three-game homestand during which the Oilers accumulated a total of four out of a possible six points. <h3>The Oilers have managed to collect at least one point in nine of their first 13 games this season</h3> Although there have been some exasperating incidents, such as blowing a two-goal lead in last Thursday's match against the Rangers, the Oilers continue to find a way to collect points and move up the rankings with a record of 6-4-3 in the first 13 matches of the season. Oilers' defenseman Evan Bouchard has been able to turn <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/evan-bouchard-called-out-after-costly-game-by-his-teammates-and-coach' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>a rocky start to the year</a> around, as he's accumulated two goals and a whopping seven assists in his previous seven outings. However, eyes will be fixed on Oilers' captain Connor McDavid tonight. The Oilers' captain needs only one point to reach the milestone of 1,100 in his NHL career. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/EdmontonOilers/status/1985366977330946219'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> As far as the opposition is concerned, the Blues are in a free fall. They are winless in their previous seven outings (0-5-2), scoring 19 goals while giving up 32, including having a worst-in-league save percentage of .837. Edmonton swept three meetings in the previous campaign; however, St. Louis has collected a point in three consecutive home encounters with Edmonton. Now, as Edmonton opens this pressing road stretch, they will try to keep rolling and help McDavid continue his excellence in the process.
