Edmonton at Montreal

First place Edmonton has done all of its damage at home with a .500 road record. They head to Montreal for this one, the third of a six-game road trip. They come off a 4-2 loss at Phoenix that ended a nice win streak. But they looked tired and out of sync, as the Oilers were outplayed in the first 40 minutes. Depth is a concern with Ales Hemsky and Cam Barker still out, plus they are not a strong offensive team, ranked No. 25 with just 2.2 goals per game. The Oilers are 41-88 in their last 129 games as an underdog and are 2-10 in their last 12 games as a road underdog of +110 to +150. Montreal has good balance across the board and is playing well, at 4-1 in their last five overall and the Canadians are 5-2 in their last seven games playing on two day’s rest. The home team is 7-1 in the last eight meetings and the Oilers are 2-5 in the last seven meetings in Montreal. Play on Montreal.
