With Scott Gomez providing the offensive punch, the surging Montreal Canadiens are making a push for a third straight playoff berth.

Gomez and the Canadiens look to match a season high with their fourth consecutive win when they host the NHL-worst Edmonton Oilers on Thursday night.

In his first season with the Canadiens, Gomez is well on his way to eclipsing his point total from a disappointing 2008-09 season. He has recorded five goals and 10 assists in his last 11 games, giving him 50 points — eight shy of what he had last season.

Gomez’s surge helped Montreal win seven of those contests, and the Canadiens have won four of five to move into seventh place in the Eastern Conference, two points back of sixth-place Philadelphia.

Second on the team in points and assists (38), Gomez recorded two goals and six assists in the last four games.

Gomez had a goal and two assists in a 5-3 victory over Tampa Bay on Monday.

The Canadiens are in position to match their longest winning streak of the season for a second time. They won four in a row from Oct. 20-26 and from Dec. 19-26.

Gomez has eight assists in eight meetings with the Oilers (21-39-6), including one in a 3-2 road loss Oct. 10. The Canadiens have won four of five meetings at the Bell Centre, taking the most recent matchup there 4-3 in overtime March 10, 2009.

The Oilers, who have a league-low 48 points, fell 4-1 to Ottawa on Tuesday after winning their previous two games. Edmonton was outshot 39-19 and coach Pat Quinn wasn’t happy with the effort.
