Edmonton has won the past five meetings following a 6-1 victory over the Penguins last Sunday. Calvin Pickard stopped 22 of 23 shots in that game and he is expected in net today. Pickard is 8-4-0 with a 2.45 goals-against average and a .909 save percentage. The Oilers have won 14 of 19 road games although they come off a 3-2 shootout loss at Buffalo yesterday. The Oilers still have won five of seven and they are in second place in the Pacific Division. Pittsburgh has lost five of six and it has been outscored 11-1 its past two games against Washington and Boston. Tristan Jarry is the likely starter in net for the Penguins with an 18-20-4 record. Edmonton averages 3.48 goals per game and it has allowed only 2.0 goals its past seven games. Play the Oilers as a Max Play.
