One of the last games in the NHL calendar for next Thursday night corresponds to the clash between Edmonton Oilers and Montreal Canadiens, in which the Oilers are the favorites to win due to the bad performance that Montreal has had throughout the season. Nevertheless, the worst mistake that Edmonton Oilers could make is to expect this as an easy-win game after having a bad performance in their short-term games.
In this regard, even though Edmonton Oilers are considered as one of the strongest contenders to battle for the championship, they’ve only been able to win 1 out of their last 7 games, including a disappointing loss against Anaheim Ducks last Tuesday. Those recent games had in common that the most dangerous players were defensemen, only finding consistency on Connor McDavid from the offensive line with 9 shots on target during the last 2 games.
On Montreal Canadiens’ case, this team is the second worst defensive in the Atlantic Division with 204 conceded goals throughout the season, however they managed to win their last 5 games in a row that put them on a very good position to compete for playoffs’ spots by the end of the regular season. With that in mind, they’re expected to carry on pushing during the following games but being completely logical that their unbeaten streak will finish sooner rather than later.
