Match announcement
Pittsburgh Penguins
USACurrent form
Sullivan's team continues to show inconsistent play, having already suffered four defeats in a row. In the first match of the series, they met Detroit and showed a stubborn fight until the last minutes. During regulation time, the teams exchanged sharp attacks, and the Red Wings took the lead five minutes before the end of the game. However, the penguins did not give up and created several dangerous moments, but missed the decisive goal into an empty net. As a result, the match ended in a defeat with a score of 2:4. Goalkeeper Nedeljkovic stopped 87% of the shots, but this was not enough. In the second match against a more powerful opponent - Florida - the Penguins showed character and had every chance of success. The team was leading until the last minutes, but the panthers took advantage of the penalty and transferred the game to overtime. The shootout ended in a defeat with a score of 2:3, leaving the penguins disappointed.
After this defeat, Pittsburgh went to visit Carolina, another favorite of the league. At the beginning of the match, the team took a two-goal advantage, which gave hope for a victory. However, they failed to maintain the lead, and the game went into overtime. In a tense fight, Carolina snatched a victory with a score of 3:4, leaving the Penguins with another defeat. Nedeljkovic again failed to cope with the task, reflecting only 87% of the shots. Returning to the home arena, the Penguins fought Colorado, again losing outside of regulation time (3:4 SO). As you can see, the team consistently fights back against its competitors and time after time is one step away from success, thanks to which it does not lag behind the playoff zone and currently occupies the ninth line in the Eastern Conference table.

Edmonton Oilers
CanadaCurrent form
Edmonton is back in great shape and hasn't lost in four games in a row, all of which have ended in regulation time. The team initially played at home, where they faced Utah in the first game and left no chance for their opponent, crushing them 4-1. The attacking line showed great play, and in three periods they were able to make 38 shots on goal. If not for the efforts of the Utah goalie, the score would have been even worse. It seemed that the same fate awaited Anaheim, but the score remained tied until the end of the third period. The Oilers took the lead just a minute and a half before the final whistle thanks to a goal by Draisaitl.
The Oilers were able to continue to please the fans on the road, where they met with Seattle and by the middle of the second period they had scored three unanswered goals. The Krakens almost made a comeback, but at the very end they pulled their goalie, which Draisaitl took advantage of again and earned another scoring action, and in addition to this, he finished the match with a comfortable score of 4:2. Edmonton played even better away to Boston, where they crushed their opponents dry (4:0). This time, forward Henrik showed himself, scoring twice. Due to their excellent form, the club was able to seriously strengthen its position in the playoff zone, occupying the fourth line in the Western Conference table, and the gap from the leader is only six points.

Edmonton is the clear favorite in the upcoming match, for several reasons. Firstly, the team is in great shape and consistently beats all opponents on its way, including in regulation time. Secondly, the teams have already met this season, and the Oilers left no chance for Pittsburgh, defeating it with a score of 4:0. And in general, the Penguins cannot get back into their previous form and continue to lose points from match to match. So we suggest not to take risks and make a confident bet in favor of the guests.

Bet on total
In the upcoming match, we can expect a large number of goals scored. Pittsburgh has been showing a terrible game in defense throughout the regular championship. Edmonton, in turn, is distinguished by very high efficiency in attack, which together should make the match very interesting and rich in goals.
Betting Tip - total over six goals for 1.82
Bet on the outcome of the first period
Edmonton plays a great game in the first period and steadily earns an advantage already at the end of the opening period. Considering Pittsburgh's weak form, the visitors have an excellent chance to once again create serious problems for their opponent already at the very beginning of the match.
Prediction - Edmonton win in the first period with a handicap (0) for 1.57
