It’s not even December and the St. Louis Blues (31 points) almost have double the standings points as the Edmonton Oilers (16).

One could have predicted the Blues - a team that just keeps unearthing talent and competing, even if the deep playoff runs remain frustratingly rare - would be a good team. Some might have seen the Oilers slipping. But both of these factors, particularly with the Blues’ bevvy of injuries? It’s quite the mind-number.

While Connor McDavid absorbs some heat and the Oilers already wonder if they can make the playoffs, the Blues get Jay Bouwmeester back and some wonder if St. Louis has just about locked up a spot.

With all this in mind, it’s still not out of the question to imagine this being a playoff series, and my, is there a lot of talent involved. McDavid’s joined by the likes of Leon Draisaitl, while the Blues throw out a line that must be considered among the best in the NHL in Jaden Schwartz, Vladimir Tarasenko, and a rising Brayden Schenn.

It should be a fascinating game to check on NBCSN. You can also watch online and via the NBC Sports App.
