Montreal has speed on offense, but comes off a bad offensive game, losing 5-0 at Calgary. Montreal is 7-3 OVER the total following a loss of three or more goals, plus 9-4-1 OVER after allowing five-plus goals in their previous game. The Canadiens get an offensive boost as Alexander Radulov (team-high 31 assists and 46 points) returns to the lineup after missing three games with a lower-body injury. He practiced on a line with Alex Galchenyuk and Artturi Lehkonen on Saturday. Edmonton is #12 in the NHL in goals scored and #7 on the power play. Connor McDavid leads the NHL with 75 points and 52 assists after scoring goal #23 Friday. The atmosphere at Rogers Place will be electric as a visit from the Canadiens always brings out their many die-hard fans spread across Canada, and this shapes up as an offensive show. Play this one OVER the total.
