Montreal Canadiens @ Edmonton Oilers Preview

The Montreal Canadiens are riding a five-game winning streak and are looking to continue their hot streak as they push for a playoff spot. With standout performances from Nick Suzuki, Cole Caufield, and rookie Lane Hutson, the Canadiens have been firing on all cylinders offensively, averaging 3.3 goals per game during their streak. Defensively, they have tightened up, allowing just 2.0 goals per game in their last five outings.

On the other hand, the Edmonton Oilers have been struggling, losing five of their last six games. Despite their recent slump, the Oilers remain a dangerous team with offensive firepower led by Leon Draisaitl and Connor McDavid. Edmonton averages 3.23 goals per game and ranks third in total shots, but their defensive issues have been a concern, allowing four goals per game in their last 10 matchups.
