Edmonton Oilers vs Montreal Canadiens Prediction: Expect a Total Over

Prediction for the NHL Edmonton Oilers vs Montreal Canadiens match, which will take place on December 4. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Edmonton missed an opportunity to earn two points against Minnesota in the last game. On the road, the Oilers showed good hockey, but the Wildcats were more convincing (3:5). Before that, the Oilers did not know defeat in three games. First, they beat the visiting Rangers (4:3), then in overtime against Florida (4:3), and finally, against Chicago (5:4). As for Edmonton's position in the Pacific Division table, they are fourth and have three more points than fifth-place Calgary (26).

Montreal is showing average results, which is already pretty good for a team that ranked last in both standings last NHL regular season. Now the Canadiens are 11th in the Eastern Conference and sixth in the Atlantic Division with 25 points. They are two points short of the playoff spot. In their last two games, Montreal first lost to San Jose, allowing four unanswered goals, then defeated Calgary (2:1) by one puck margin.

The teams are performing at a plus or minus equal level. The number of their points scored in the regular season (26 vs. 25) confirms that. So, we do not recommend prying into the outcome, although according to bookmakers, the Oilers are the game's favorites. In this pair, we expect a productive outcome of the match. Both teams are pretty good on offense and often make mistakes on defense. We suggest betting on a total over (6.5) goals scored for excellent odds.
