The Montreal Canadiens And Edmonton Oilers Meet Tuesday In Nhl Action At Rogers Place.

The Montreal Canadiens Look For A Spark Of Consistency After Splitting Their Last 12 Games. The Montreal Canadiens Are Averaging 3.3 Goals Per Game And Are Scoring On 13.6 Percent Of Their Power Play Opportunities. Max Domi Leads Montreal With Nine Goals, Jeff Petry Has 12 Assists And Tomas Tatar Has 52 Shots On Goal. Defensively, The Montreal Canadiens Are Allowing 3.2 Goals Per Game And Are Killing 81.7 Percent Of Their Opponents Power Plays. Carey Price Has Given Up 37 Goals On 343 Shots Faced And Antti Niemi Has Allowed 17 Goals On 160 Shots. The Montreal Canadiens Have Allowed Three Or More Goals In Each Of Their Last Seven Games.

The Edmonton Oilers could use a snap back victory here that would snap a four-game losing streak. The Edmonton Oilers are averaging 2.7 goals per game and are scoring on 20 percent of their power play opportunities. Connor McDavid leads Edmonton with 10 goals, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins has 14 assists and Leon Draisaitl has 44 shots on goal. Defensively, the Edmonton Oilers are allowing 3.2 goals per game and are killing 72.7 percent of their opponents power plays. Cam Talbot has given up 38 goals on 363 shots faced and Mikko Koskinen has allowed 12 goals on 141 shots. The Edmonton Oilers have allowed three or more goals in each of their last five games.

The Canadiens are 15-36 in their last 51 road games, 7-19 in their last 26 games following a win and 2-6 in their last 8 Tuesday games. The Oilers are 18-52 in their last 70 Tuesday games and 0-4 in their last 4 overall. The Canadiens are 4-11 in the last 15 meetings in Edmonton and 2-7 in the last 9 meetings. The under is 6-2 in Oilers last 8 home games and the over is 4-0 in Canadiens last 4 overall.

Both of these teams are in a clear funk defensively and you could make a case the Montreal Canadiens and the plus money is the better value play. However, it's only a matter of time before the Edmonton Oilers get back on track, and they have won seven of the last nine meetings against the Montreal Canadiens. Montreal has also won just once in Edmonton over the last four years. I'll take the Oilers and the fair price.
