LiontipsEdmonton vs Montreal. Predictions and Betting Tips for NHL
Command Analysis
Edmonton are currently in the third position in the Northern Division with a total of 56 points. The team shows good results throughout this season and is always in good form. Not so long ago, of course, the Oilers lost to Calgary (0:5), but after a forced break due to quarantine, they defeated Winnipeg (3:0) and beat Montreal (4:1).
Usually, Dave Tippett's men are highly productive and score at least three goals per game. Most of the goals are scored by the magnificent duo of McDavid and Draisaitl, who are cracking their opponents' defenses with ease and elegance.
Montreal are failing to develop a winning streak, and recently, after one successful game, they have been losing one game after another. At home, the Canadiens lost to Calgary (1:4) and Ottawa (0:4), and after defeating Calgary in a return game (2:1) they lost again - to Edmonton.
With such inconsistent performance, the Canadiens also score very rarely, usually no more than two goals scored per game. Despite this, so far the team lead by Dominique Ducharme are not at risk of losing a ticket to the playoffs: they are in fourth place, ahead of the Flames by six points.

Tip and bets
Our favorite for this game is Edmonton. They are currently much stronger than Montreal. In the last match, the Canadiens had created almost zero dangerous moments at the opponent's goal, and the Oilers made good use of their chances to score. In addition, Tippett's charges have recently had time to rest, so they have more strength.
Our prediction is Edmonton to win.
However odd it may seem, the games between the teams this season are not resultative, although both like to act on counterattacks. With this trend in mind, we suggest betting on total under.
Second wager - total under 5.5 goals.
