Monday’s NHL slate consists of six games, including an all-Canadian matchup between the Edmonton Oilers and Montreal Canadiens.
The latest: Edmonton has recorded a point in four straight games and is a heavy favourite on the road. Elsewhere, the Boston Bruins look to snap out of a funk when they host the Columbus Blue Jackets, and the Dallas Stars are massive favourites in hopes of building on a 7-1-0 home record.

Betting insights
- The Oilers are 3-1-1 since Connor McDavid returned to the lineup, averaging 3.8 goals per game. Montreal has won two of its last three games but is 2-6-1 in its last nine, allowing the second-highest number of goals per game (3.89).
- The Bruins are 4-4-2 in their last 10 and haven’t had good goaltending. Jeremy Swayman owns a 3.35 GAA and .888 SV% through 13 starts after holding out for a new contract. Boston hosts a Columbus team allowing the fourth-most goals per game.
- Dallas won all three matchups against Anaheim last season, but two of those were decided by one goal. The Ducks are on the wrong end of a rare, reasonably-priced +2.5 puck line tonight. They’ve covered that number in 12 of 16 games this year.
- The San Jose Sharks have found some form after losing nine straight to start the season. They’re 5-3-2 since then and have covered a +1.5 puck line in nine of those games. Detroit has lost four of its past five games.
