Montreal vs Edmonton Prediction: the Oilers' Winning Streak Will Extend to Ten Matches

Prediction for the NHL match between Montreal vs Edmonton, which will take place on January 14th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Montreal is having another mediocre season. One of the reasons for the failures is the endless injuries to key players. At this point, the club's infirmary is starting to empty, but it still has Kirby Dak, Christian Dvorak, Alex Newhook, and Tanner Pearson. Of course, all this is reflected in their results. The team seemed to be gaining momentum in December, but they have suffered six losses in their last eight meetings, only beating Dallas and the Rangers 4-3 each. Such modest results have left the Canadiens in 13th place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Edmonton continues to improve their position in the tournament. The Oilers got off to an awful start, which put their playoff chances in doubt. This led to a change of head coach. Under Knoblauch's, the Blues and Oranges went on a 9-game winning streak. The Canadian team has already beaten Chicago and Detroit, 2-1 and 3-2, to reach eighth place in the Western Conference standings.

Edmonton has looked like an unbeatable team. All of the key players have been on a roll, so they're the favorites in the upcoming battle. Montreal is still an underdog with enough lineup problems. 

Montreal and Edmonton have had a lot of productive meetings lately. In their last seven meetings, the opponents shot 53 goals (an average of 7.57 per game). It is important to note that both teams are known for their scoring activity. As a result, nearly every game between the Canadiens and Oilers has been full of dangerous moments.
