Thursday NHL Pick

The Montreal Canadiens had their way with the Edmonton Oilers in their first two meetings of the season, winning easily, outscoring Edmonton by a combined total of 8-2, and that was in Edmonton. Tonight the venue will be at Rogers Centre and Montreal is expected to have Jake Allen between the pipes. Allen’s numbers are impressive. He is 4-1-0 with a nasty GAA of only 1.81 and a 0.94 SV%. The Oilers have won 5 of their last 6 but 4 of those wins were against Ottawa and everybody beats them.
TONIGHT’S PICK: MONTREAL CANADIENS
