Oilersnation Pre Game Podcast – Game 54 at Montreal

May 10, 2021, 15:30 EDTUpdated: May 10, 2021, 15:43 EDT
The Oilers have locked up second place in the division and Connor McDavid has hit 100 points on the season. If you were to sit there and say that there isn’t a lot for this team to play for, I wouldn’t blame you. The team is saying all the right things and talking about how they can’t take their foot off the gas ahead of the playoffs but let’s be honest, the biggest priority this week is making sure nobody gets hurt. If the Oilers lose all three of these games but have their lineup at 100% come next week, then I won’t complain. Of course, they want to keep up their strong play and make sure they’re a confident group heading into the playoffs. Let’s call this week the quest for healthy and confidence. It all starts tonight with the first of two games against the Montreal Canadiens.
