A Canadian battle is set for Sunday afternoon when the Edmonton Oilers (65 points) visit the Montreal Canadiens (46 points). Edmonton is second in the Pacific division, but are just one back of first and two points ahead of fourth. Montreal has the worst record in the Metropolitan division but are not in a great position to land Connor Bedard. Below is my NHL prediction for Oilers vs Canadiens.
