THREE THINGS TO LOOK FOR

SMITH IN NET: The Oilers backstop will look to pick up his 14th win of the season with a solid performance tonight. Can he make it number 14 on the year?
Connor McDavid lit the lamp for his 22nd goal and 64th point of the year. He needs to average 2 points per game between now and the end of the season to make it a cool 100. Can he lay it on the line tonight in Montréal?
Dominik Kahun scored his sixth of the season in Edmonton’s 3-2 victory over the Calgary Flames on Friday. Can he keep the good times rolling with another goal tonight?

Oilers will have sole possession of second place tonight with a win. Let’s do it up.
