Trends
Edmonton is 5-1 in their last 6 road games and 2-5 in their last 7 Sunday games. The over is 8-3-2 in Edmonton’s last 13 Sunday games. Montreal is 4-15 in their last 19 Sunday games and 18-43 in their last 61 games against the Western Conference. The over is 13-6-1 in Montreal’s last 20 games played on 0 days rest. The over is 6-0 in these two teams last 6 head to head meetings.
Pick
Montreal was able to snap their losing streak on Saturday with an overtime win over the Islanders, but they will have to deal with a very good Oilers team in this game. Edmonton has won three of their last four games and has scored 6, 5, and 7 goals in their last three wins. Montreal will be starting Jake Allen in net, who has struggled in this season and I think he is in for a long day here. I like the Oilers to win this game by at least two goals.
