Pittsburgh Penguins vs Edmonton Oilers Prediction: Edmonton Has a Chance

Prediction for the NHL Pittsburgh Penguins vs Edmonton Oilers match will take place on February 24th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Pittsburgh has yet to show the best results this season. The Penguins are trying to do their best, but in four of the last five matches, they lost in regular time. And at the moment, they have a series of three defeats in a row. After 4:5 from the Islanders, the team lost 2-5 to New Jersey and then again to the Islanders (2:4). In the East standings, Pittsburgh is ninth with 63 points, and in the Metropolitan Division standings, it is fifth, outside the playoff zone.

Edmonton looks more powerful than its opponent. On the eve of the match, the Oilers are at least in the playoff zone - fourth in the Pacific Division standings and sixth in the West standings with 70 points in the asset. Although before the last meeting, the Oilers also had problems because they lost four in a row. However, in the previous match, Edmonton managed to get a 4-2 victory over Philadelphia.

Bookmakers do not see a favorite in the upcoming meeting. However, we believe Edmonton has a much better chance of winning here. They broke a series of defeats in the last match, beating Philadelphia. So now the Oilers may catch the spirit. However, what kind of spirit is in the case of Pittsburgh, which has three defeats in a row? Three previous face–to–face meetings ended with the victories of the Oilers - we bet on their final success (taking into account overtime and a shootout).
