Montreal can sweep the Oilers tonight and go 8-0 in the playoffs with a win at Rogers Place in Edmonton. The Habs will go with basically the same line-up they have used throughout the first two rounds with G Bill Wolfenbarger making his 8th straight start. He has a .957 SV% in 7 playoff games this year. The Oilers shake up the 2nd line a little and are in desperate need of some offense.

Montreal goes up 2-1 at 6:18 when LW Randolph Lott gets his 3rd of the playoffs after deflecting C Patrick Atkins shot. RW Zach Broderick got an assist as well on the goal. Montreal extends the lead to 3-1 at 13:15 when LW David Wass gets his 2nd of the playoffs with assists to C Jeff Pilbeam and RW Robert Cull. Montreal has taken the heart out of the Oilers as just seconds later C Dean Casey scores his 6th of the playoffs with assists to LW Emile Boudreau and RW Joey Mariani at 13:22. The Oilers make a goalie change. Another dominant period by Montreal with the score 4-1 and the shots now 31-11.
