With just over 6 minutes left in the 3rd, the Oilers led Les Habitants 1-0.
Carey Price earned full marks for the win though. He is ramping it up at the right time .
The Oilers were still in gazing in awe at the display of speed they saw from Paul Byron, when Montréal scored their second goal 49 seconds later. That really shook their confidence and Montréal potted 2 empty netters after that.

Montreal needs to keep a close eye on Ottawa who've snick up behind them. Sens just might take that division.

Calgary has sure done a nice job of positioning themselves For the playoffs. Here's hoping for a first round BOA, might come down to if Calgary can suppress Anaheim in their 2 games so Edmonton can take 3rd though.

The Oilers would need to win in order for there to be a BOA. This is the time of year a team must up its intensity and that isn't a word in the Oilers vocabulary at the moment.

If the Oilers are going to learn what it takes I think they're going to have to fall out of a playoff spot first.
