This is a 10* TOP SIDE on the Canadiens.

I think that Edmonton is going to get caught looking past the lowly Canadiens today. The Oilers have won three straight and they have a game at Ottawa on Monday.

This is the first matchup of the year between the clubs. Montreal has lost nine of ten, and it's off four straight losses. It's battling hard though, most recently falling 5-4 to Anaheim. Columbus comes to town tomorrow night, followed by the Devils.

The Canadiens won't be in the playoffs this year obviosly, but here's a small favorable stretch. IF they can start it off with an upset win here. I say the stage is set for an upset.

The play is MONTREAL.

Good luck, NP
