Edmonton at Montreal

Edmonton winds up a three-game road trip, riding a three-game skid. They've been outscored 9-3 the last three contests and are 50-116 against a team with a winning record. The Oilers lost defenseman Matt Benning in Friday's loss and called up blue-liners Griffin Reinhart and Jordan Oesterle from the AHL's Bakersfield Condors. It's a tough situational spot, the Oilers are 3-8 in the fourth game of a four-in-six situation, plus 10-42 on the road against a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. Montreal had to play yesterday, but their depth is exceptional, 7-3 in the second of back-to-back games this season. The Canadians are seventh in the NHL in goals scored and allowed, and third on the power play. They are hungry for a win after dropping two in a row, and the team is 18-6-3 at home. Play Montreal.
