Oilersnation Pre Game Podcast – Game 35 at Montreal

Are the Oilers playing their best hockey of the season right now? They just might be. They’ve won three in a row and are coming off an incredibly impressive third-period comeback over the Winnipeg Jets. The Oilers will be looking to keep their hot streak going as they begin a five-game road trip tonight with a matchup against the Montreal Canadiens. The Habs have just two regulation losses in their last ten games but have just four wins in that span. The big issue for them has been closing out games and finding ways to win in overtime or the shootout. The Habs will also be without Tyler Toffoli, who is top five in the NHL goal-scoring race, for this entire three-game set against the Oilers. A big run over this road trip would be huge for the Oilers, who can jump into first place in the North Division with a win tonight.
