Edmonton Oilers vs Montreal Canadiens Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 12/14/25

The Edmonton Oilers are set to face the Montreal Canadiens for the final time this season. In their first meeting in Edmonton, both teams combined for 11 goals, and there’s every reason to expect another high-scoring game on Sunday. The Oilers recently scored 6 goals against Toronto in a match less than 24 hours ago and have one of the best power plays in the league. Tristan Jarry made his first start with his new team, so Calvin Pickard will likely be in goal for this matchup. Unfortunately, his performance this season has been subpar, boasting a goals-against average (GAA) of 4.04 and a save percentage (SV%) of .851.

The Canadiens are coming off a disappointing 5-4 overtime loss to the Rangers. They started strong, taking an early 3-0 lead, but then ran into penalty trouble, turned the puck over, and failed to provide rookie goalie Jacob Fowler with adequate defensive support. Like Edmonton, Montreal is playing its third game in four nights and will likely rely on Samuel Montembeault, whose statistics are slightly better than Pickard’s on the other side. Both teams have above-average power plays, so if the Habs accumulate penalties, they may struggle to contain Connor McDavid and his teammates. The goalie situation is expected to be chaotic, and defensive play may not be strong, which could lead to a high-scoring game.
