Pittsburgh Penguins vs Edmonton Oilers: The Oilers won't be able to cope with an uncomfortable opponent

Prediction for the NHL Pittsburgh Penguins vs Edmonton Oilers match, which will take place on April 27. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

Pittsburgh Penguins

This regular season has been a very controversial one for Pittsburgh. The Pennsylvanians suffered a severe crisis early in the season, playing without Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. They managed to produce several long winning streaks, but they still lacked stability in the end. They have won four games and lost three in the last seven games. They suffered a sensational defeat against Philadelphia (1:4). The Yellow and Black sit in seventh place in the Eastern Conference standings.

Edmonton Oilers

Edmonton could still make the playoffs, although there were serious doubts about it during the regular season. The Oilers had a fragile first half of the season, but then there was a change of head coach, which cheered the team up. The Blue-Orange team had a few notable victories. They have four wins and one defeat in their last five games, moving up to fifth in the Western Conference standings.
