The Pittsburgh Penguins (27-23-8) take on the Edmonton Oilers (36-20-2) Sunday at Rogers Place. Puck drop is set for 9 p.m. ET (ESPN+/Hulu). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Penguins'vs. Oilers odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.
The Pens complete their Northwest/Canada trip following a 4-3 loss at the Calgary Flames Saturday. They beat the Vancouver Canucks to start the trip and lost to the Seattle Kraken afterwards. The Pens are 10 points out of a Wild Card berth and fading fast as the trade deadline looms.
The Oilers have won 3 in a row after a 3-game losing streak. They, too, played Saturday in a 2-1 victory in Seattle. C Leon Draisaitl scored his 30th goal Saturday. C Connor McDavid had an assist 1 game after snapping a 10-game goalless drought against the St. Louis Blues. He probably narrowly avoided being benched for that… not in this lifetime.
