Ryan Jones scored a shorthanded goal in the first period and Tom Gilbert gave Edmonton a 2-0 lead with a tally late in the third period.
Max Pacioretty pulled the Canadiens to within a goal with marker 22 seconds later, but Ryan Smyth iced it for the Northwest Division-leading Oilers with an empty-netter.
Carey Price stopped 11-of-13 shots for the Habs.
