The Oilers are in on the McDavid sweepstakes so this will be an easy win tonight.
Yeah right.

Watching Jeff Petry closely tonight, a potential trade target.
Marc Bergevin can never have too many defensemen.
Hard not to like the Bournival - De La Rose - Thomas line.
If only they can grace the scoresheet.
PK doesn't agree with the call but I do. Have to hit the puck or it's a trip.
De La Rose on the penalty kill. Impressive confidence from Therrien.
Thomas gets a shift with Pacioretty and Desharnais as play resumes 5-on-5.
It took seven minutes, but the Habs are applying some pressure.
Comments in the game thread all over Emelin/Eller trade rumors.
Eller's value is at a low right now. Hold onto him and let him dominate the playoffs.
Emelin on the other hand... #FreeTinordi.
Subban just got Klinkhammered.
Hard to believe Beaulieu is still seeking his first NHL goal.
Speaking of first NHL goals... CHRISTIAN THOMAS! [GIF]
1-0 Habs. You can follow the rookie on Twitter: @cpt97
Jacob De La Rose's assist on the goal is his first point of his career, too.

Montreal has Edmonton right where they want them, right?
Reviewing a puck that hit the outside of the net...
Tokarski has been swimming in his crease tonight.
That was a waste of time. No goal for the Oilers.
Emelin DOES NOT want to get traded to Edmonton. Cracks Yakupov in open ice.
No contact to Yakupov's head, Emelin got him on the knee. [GIF]
It's a bad sign when Pacioretty is trying to pass it to Desharnais.
SHOOT, buddy. SHOOT!
Galchenyuk has all the moves tonight. Could use more finish.
Plek is pissed. Nets a penalty for high sticking.
Bad timing for a penalty with Montreal mounting pressure.
Nugent-Hopkins called for grabbing the biscuit. Eller looked on hungrily.
4-on-4. Go-go-gadget Subban!
PACIORETTY!
With Desharnais streaking down the other wing, Max made the right decision.
3-2 Habs. Subban and Markov draw assists on Pacioretty's
Dustin Tokarski just made a save that will have Pierre McGuire squeeing for weeks.
Did Tokarski just make ANOTHER unbelievable save?
Sure did! With a little help from the crossbar.
Derek Roy gets some revenge on Emelin for Yakupov.
Roy was the first (only?) guy to stand up for Nail after the Emelin hit.
Plek wins the faceoff with his glove. That's a no-no.
Big penalty kill here with 3 minutes to play.
Empty Net? Doesn't Matter. Had Pleks.
Nugent-Hopkins ties it with seconds left. And we're on to...
