Edmonton Oilers vs Montreal Canadiens Prediction, Bet Builder Tips & Odds | NHL, 18 Nov 2024

Bet on Oilers to Get the Job Done

The Oilers should prove too strong for the Canadiens and our prediction is to back them at -1.5 on the puck line. The -105 looks like a value proposition.

Oilers Have 7 Wins in Last 10 H2H Battles

Edmonton Oilers suffered a defeat in their previous game. A 4-3 (OT) scoreline occurred on the road at Scotiabank Arena against Toronto Maple Leafs. Connor McDavid, Leon Draisaitl and Adam Henrique scored one goal each.

Montreal Canadiens last game saw them claim a 5-1 home win over Columbus Blue Jackets at Bell Centre. The goals were shared around between five players including Mike Matheson. Goalie Sam Montembeault played a starring role, stopping 25 shots (.962).
