The Montreal Alouettes aim to extend their winning streak to three games when they face the Edmonton Elks at 4 p.m. ET on Saturday. The matchup marks the Alouettes' first encounter with a West Division team this season after victories against Hamilton and Toronto. This game also features a significant quarterback showdown between Davis Alexander and Cody Fajardo, former teammates with a past Grey Cup win. Notably, Alexander stands on the brink of tying the all-time record for consecutive wins as a starter.

By the Numbers
  • Davis Alexander can improve to 14-0 as a starter with a win, tying Bo Levi Mitchell's record for consecutive wins.
  • Mario Alford rejoins the Als after being released by Hamilton, having previously played three seasons with Montreal.
Yes, But

Despite their strong start, the Alouettes are dealing with multiple injuries to key players, which may impact their performance against Edmonton.

State of Play
  • Key injuries include star linebacker Tyrice Beverette and receiver Jerreth Sterns, both ruled out for the game.
  • Newly signed players like Kaseem Ferdinand and Terique Owens will step up due to ongoing injuries in the squad.
What's Next

Should the Alouettes win, they will strengthen their position as a top contender in the league and return home to face the Ottawa Redblacks after this game.

Bottom Line

The Alouettes face a crucial test against the Elks; a win would not only boost their record but also set a milestone for Davis Alexander's career, reinforcing their potential as a dominant force this season.
