Edmonton Oilers vs Boston Bruins Prediction: Expect a win for the guests

Prediction for the NHL Edmonton Oilers vs Boston Bruins match, which will take place on February 28. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Edmonton is having a solid regular season, intending to make it to the Cup battles without too much trouble. The Oilers reached the playoffs at the end of the season a year earlier, but now they're in a much better position to do so. Even so, they are having a modest second half of February. They suffered five losses in the last seven meetings, beating only their Pennsylvania neighbors Philadelphia and Pittsburgh 4:2 and 7:2, respectively. The day before, Edmonton unexpectedly lost to Columbus, 5:6, but retained fourth place in the Western Conference standings.

Boston is the strongest team in the league in the current regular season. Currently, they are leading the NHL standings, nine points ahead of their closest pursuer. Such powerful results Black-and-Yellow showed in the first season of Jim Montgomery as the head coach. At the same time, despite their enormous lead over all their opponents, his team has no intention of slowing down. In their last six games, they beat Dallas, Nashville, Islanders, Ottawa, Seattle, and Vancouver by turns with a total score of 26:11. Boston is so good that even goalie Linus Ullmark gets the goals.

Boston is the strongest team in the league in the current regular season, which continues to win one victory after another. Currently, the Bears have an active streak of six straight victories, which they will not break. Their next opponent will be Edmonton, who is not having their best season stretch, losing five of their previous seven meetings. Moreover, Jim Montgomery's men have played well at Rogers Place in three of their last four ties, so it's a good bet on Boston to win.

The confrontation between Edmonton and Boston is not particularly productive, but the upcoming meeting has every chance to be rich in goals. The Oilers' stats indicate that they've posted 69 goals against (8.63 goals-against average per game) in their previous eight games. That said, the Bears are in such a strong position right now, so a total over 6.5 pucks seems like a good bet, and we should also look into the Taylor Hall 0.5-point total.
