The set-up: Montreal has traded wins/losses over its last five games. The Habs enter off a listless 4-0 loss to Ottawa and suffice it to say, I expect a much more concerted effort/push here. The Habs are still 9-4-3 on the road thi syear. They average 2.95 GPG, while allowing 2.76.

The pick: Edmonton is off a 3-0 win over Winnipeg and it's on the entirely other end of the spectrum than its counterpart today, as it's won three of its last four. Overall the Oilers average 3.19 GPG, while allowing 2.79. Montreal is going to have to push the pace to keep pace, and that's going to also leave it open on the backend vs. this opportunistic Oilers' offense. This one has "over" written all over it.

This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE WEEK on the OVER Habs/Oilers.
