The Penguins suffered a 6-3 loss at the Edmonton Oilers Monday in the front end of a back-to-back Alberta two-step. The Over cashed for the 3rd straight game, and 5th time in 6 games overall.
Pittsburgh is No. 1 in goals per game (GPG) at 4.8 while ranking just 27th on the penalty kill at 72.7%. That’s a great recipe for Over results.
