Game of the Month
Edmonton won its ninth in a row and matched a franchise record for consecutive wins with a 3-2 overtime victory over Detroit as Darnell Nurse scored the game-winner and Calvin Pickard stopped 15 of 17 shots. The Oilers out shot the Red Wings 47-17 and Edmonton has allowed a total of only 16 goals for a 1.78 average during the streak. Stuart Skinner is likely back in net for the Oilers tonight and he owns a 17-9-1 record and a 2.69 goals-against average with two shutouts this season. Samuel Montembeault is expected for Montreal with a 9-6-3 mark. The Canadiens have lost seven of 10, including a 3-2 defeat against lowly San Jose on Thursday. The Oilers have won seven straight road games and Montreal is 1-6 its past seven games as a home underdog of at least +201. Play the Oilers as my Game of the Month Max Play.
