Edmonton Oilers vs Boston Bruins Prediction: the Panthers will be the first to take advantage

Prediction for the NHL Edmonton Oilers vs Boston Bruins match which will take place on February 22nd. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Edmonton is playing mediocre hockey after a tremendous winning streak. In the last five meetings, they have recorded three wins - 8:4 over Detroit, 4:3 OT over Dallas, and 6:3 over Arizona - but also two losses - 4:0 to Los Angeles and 6:3 to St. Louis. The Oilers are doing well in the West. They are comfortably in sixth place, seven points clear of ninth-placed Nashville.

Boston has lost its lead in the East. And before the start of the 57th game, they are even in third place with 77 points, one less than the first Florida. So, the Bruins are interested in scoring points. Otherwise, they could lose sight of the Panthers. Last time out, Boston ended a four-game losing streak by beating Dallas 4:3 in a shootout.

Edmonton is the favorite, but let's not make conclusions. We all know what the Bruins are capable of, and they need points. Otherwise, the Panthers will be the first to take advantage. The Oilers are playing at home after three games in a row so that the crowd will be hungry. Note that the Oilers' last home defeat was on 17 December 2023.
