LiontipsEdmonton — Montreal. Predictions & Betting for the NHL match
Command Analysis
Edmonton is still in third place in the table and is a strong candidate to make the playoffs this season. The squad has a reasonably consistent record and does not lose more than one match in a row. It has won three of the last four meetings, with the exception of a loss to Calgary (0:5).
Due to several players entering the COVID protocol after this game, the Oilers were forced to miss an entire week. The split, however, had little effect on Dave Tippett's team, which defeated the «Winnipeg» by a score of (3:0) on the road. Edmonton is used to playing well on their home ice, averaging more than three goals a game.
With 47 points, Montreal is ranked fourth in the Northern Division. The team hasn't been very consistent recently, and they've been losing a lot, but they're still four points ahead of Calgary, and they have two games in reserve.
Recall that the «Tricolor» recently lost at home to the Flames (1:4) and Ottawa (0:4), but won the rematch with the «Lights» (2:1). It's worth noting that Dominique Ducharme's wards have only lost four times in real time on the road, with an overall difference of at least three goals per game.

Tip and bets
We assume that on its ice, Edmonton does not award two points to Montreal, which has shown very inconsistency in its performances and has yet to win more than one game in a row. After a strong return to the game following the break, the Oilers comfortably defeated the dominant Winnipeg Jets, so we recommend taking their win in regular time.
At BC Fonbet, we predict a 2.31 victory for Edmonton.
Surprisingly, the face-to-face meetings between these clubs this season have not been fruitful, and they are cautious in their own region. Also, nearly all of the recent matches in which «Montreal» played had less than six goals, which is why we recommend taking the number.
For 1.72, we bet on atotal of less than 6 goals.
