Canadiens vs. Oilers Odds & Betting Predictions - March 7, 2025

The Canadiens are rolling—five straight wins, offense clicking at 2.98 GPG, and Suzuki (65 pts) leading the charge. Caufield’s 30-goal mark and Hutson’s stellar rookie season (48 pts) make them dangerous. Goaltending is shaky (3.31 GAA, 27th), but Montembeault has come up big in key moments, including 33 saves in their last win vs. Buffalo. Edmonton is slumping—1-5-0 since the Four Nations break. Defense has collapsed, GAA dropping from top-five to 14th. Pickard’s recent struggles (4 GA on 11 shots vs. Anaheim) highlight the issue. Draisaitl (92 pts in 61 games) and McDavid can score, but if the Oilers can’t tighten up, they’re vulnerable—especially against a surging Canadiens squad. Montreal is just one point back of a Wild Card spot, desperate for points. Their top line is in form, and Edmonton’s recent defensive woes make this a prime spot to keep it close. Canadiens +1.5 has value—momentum, offensive firepower, and an opponent in a slump. Oilers might win, but it won’t be easy.
