Canadiens vs Oilers Key Stats

Problems are mounting for Montreal in offense as they haven't managed to get desired results. With only Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield scoring over 10 goals each, they have lacked enough support from other players. The team needs to add alternatives to them to get the best results in the upcoming games.

Montreal's defensive setup is not at its best either, with over 78 goals conceded in 23 games. As the season progresses, they need changes to get better returns in upcoming games.

Edmonton have been decent on offense this season and managed to score over three goals per game. The team's offense consists of Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. These three players have scored over 10 goals and provided over 60 assists this season. They will play a crucial role in this game too.

The problem lies in their defense, which has conceded goals at the rate of more than 3.5 goals per game this season. The ultimate challenge for them would be how to get it in sync with the offense and have better winning opportunities. It would be interesting to see the changes as they look to build over from here.

Canadiens vs Oilers Betting Prediction

The Canadiens have rarely played well in their last few games, and so this game would be a challenge for them.

Meanwhile, Edmonton playing at home, have won five out of the last five games and are likely to win this one too. They have also performed well against low-scoring teams and a better offensive setup gives them an advantage in this matchup.
