Edmonton Oilers vs. Montreal Canadiens Prediction

I’m on the Oilers in this one. I get the case to be made for a home dog like Montreal, but Montreal’s been better on the road this season, and the Canadiens are back to having goaltending issues after Fowler couldn’t hold the Habs in the game in New York. Edmonton’s going to always have volatility in goal, but they also have two of the best players in the world in their ranks and we saw against Toronto how much that can truly mean for this team. I think Edmonton gets it done on the road here. Give me the Oilers.
