Liveblog: Canadiens 3 – Edmonton 0 after one

Will your Montreal Canadiens start a new winning streak in Edmonton Thursday night?

Or will the Oilers extend the Canadiens’ losing streak to TWO games, sparking an epidemic of teeth-gnashing and second-guessing among the fickle faithful?

On their last visit to Rexall Place, 367 days ago, the Canadiens were on the short end of a 3-0 score. Dustin Tokarski was beaten twice on the 18 shots he faced, and Taylor Hall added an empty-netter.

Ben Scrivens made 29 saves for the shutout. Edmonton-born Brendan Gallagher had an eye-popping 10 shot attempts in the game.

The Oilers swept both games last season and are riding a three-game W streak against the Canadiens.
