Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on November 19. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Montreal may not count on the playoffs this season. The team barely has enough resources to fight for the penultimate position in the East. So, ahead of the duel with Edmonton, the Canadiens are content with 16th place in the conference, having the same number of points as the superior Columbus (14). It should be noted that Montreal is approaching the upcoming game after two wins - 7:5 over Buffalo and 5:1 over Columbus, and one loss - 0:3 from Minnesota.

Edmonton is fighting for the right to be in the playoff zone and has been successful so far. On the eve of the game with Montreal, the Oilers are in the top-8 of the Western Conference with 20 points. It should be noted that the Oilers should not relax in any way, as their lower-ranked rivals are breathing down their necks. As for Edmonton's conditioning, there are no special problems with them. In the last five-game stretch, they recorded three wins and two losses, with a total score of 19:16 - the fourth best record in the West over that span.

To the upcoming duel, Edmonton approaches as a clear favorite, with which we fully agree. The Oilers are superior in class to the opponent, as evidenced by their positions in the standings. While Montreal is settling for last place in the East, the Oilers are trying to secure a comfortable lead in the West playoff zone. We don't think the visitors will neglect points in the upcoming game. We suggest betting on their clean win at a good rate.
