The Edmonton Oilers are rolling into Montreal looking to extend their current winning streak to 4 games. The Montreal Canadiens will be looking to end a 2 game losing streak. The Canadiens are currently the worst team in the league with a disappointing 8 win and 23 points.
It’s crazy how much can change in a year. Last season the Montreal Canadiens were in the Stanley Cup Finals, but now all they have to look forward to is the draft lottery. As an Oilers fan I know that feeling and it makes it tough for the rest of the season.
I would also think it would be hard for the players to get up for every game knowing you almost have no chance to make the playoffs. So I would expect a soft effort from the Canadiens. Which is just what the Edmonton Oilers want, an easy victory.
The Oilers are due for a big offensive game and playing against the Montreal Canadiens might be just what they need. So if you are fantasy hockey player maybe load up your lineup with Edmonton Oilers.
This game will also be the debut of Evander Kane to the Edmonton Oilers lineup. After signing with the team on Wednesday and arriving in Edmonton that night.
