Oilersnation Pre Game Podcast – Game 45 vs Montreal

Apr 21, 2021, 15:00 EDTUpdated: Apr 21, 2021, 15:07 EDT
After a thrilling victory on Monday, the Oilers will be looking to finish up their two-game set against the Montreal Canadiens with a victory. The last meeting between these two teams had a little bit of everything. There was no shortage of physical play, some wild moments, and a beautiful goal from Connor McDavid. From an entertainment perspective, it had everything you could want. Tonight’s game also gives the Oilers a chance to inch closer to the top spot in the division, which suddenly doesn’t feel out of reach at all. There is still plenty for these teams to play for, even if the four playoff spots are essentially locked up.
Will the Oilers make changes to their lineup? What do they need to do to win? What’s the bet of the game? I answered all of those questions today on the Pre Game Podcast (brought to you by YEG Burger & Nation Beer)!
