NHL Total Crusher
(NHL) Montreal vs. Edmonton, 01/18/2021 9:00 PM, Score: 3 - 1
Total: 6.50 | 106.00 Over
Result: Loss
#51 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* OVER 6.5 goals: Montreal at Edmonton, Monday at 9:00 PM ET - This is a rematch of Saturday's game and we'll see a lot of match-ups happening in this format this season as it is part of the scheduling favored by the NHL to limit travel in this covid-19 impacted season.  We're happy to take advantage of the value being offered in this one because the Oilers are having significant goaltending issues.  Mike Smith is out so the pressure falls on Mikko Koskinen for Edmonton right now.  That being said, it is also noteworthy that the Oilers have significant defensive issues in front of their goal.  That was one of the concerns coming into the season for Edmonton.  No wonder Koskinen already has a 4.04 GAA this season and now he again faces the Montreal club that gave him major trouble in the 5-1 Oilers loss Saturday.  That one goal performance for Edmonton followed them averaging scoring 4 goals per game in their first two games.  They are loaded offensively and will respond after the Canadiens stifled them on Saturday.  On home ice, the Oilers get their offense back on track but their defensive struggles continue and this one flies over the total.  It is with good reason that this is one of the biggest totals on the board Monday.  10* OVER 6.5 goals: Montreal at Edmonton
