Edmonton looks to bounce back from a 4-1 loss to the New York Islanders on Tuesday, which snapped a two-game winning streak. Cam Talbot saved 23 of 26 shots in the losing effort, but Talbot still is 33-19-7 with a 2.40 goals-against average. He also carries a .919 save percentage this season and the Oilers have won six of his last nine starts. Pittsburgh beat Winnipeg 7-4 on Wednesday as Matt Murray survived four goals allowed on 35 shots. Murray has allowed seven goals his last two games. This is a great matchup between Connor McDavid and Sidney Crosby as Edmonton seeks to avenge its earlier loss to the Penguins in November. Take the Oilers.
