Pittsburgh Penguins game preview
The Penguins would be disappointed with their performance of late, as they started their season on a positive note, winning three of their first five games but have since struggled massively due to their defensive weakness. They have conceded 14 goals in their last three games.
Pittsburgh Penguins injuries
Vasily Ponomarev and Blake Lizotte are sidelined for the Penguins due to their ongoing injuries. Their return date is yet to be finalized.
Edmonton Oilers game preview
The Oilers' overtime defeat against the Canes must be stinging them deep as they look to right their wrongs against a struggling Penguins side.
Edmonton Oilers injuries
Evander Kane and Robyn Jarventie are sidelined long-term for the Oilers, with the return for the duo estimated to be in the first quarter of 2025.
Penguins and Oilers key players
Evgeni Malkin has been the main guy for the Penguins. The forward has scored two goals and provided nine assists. Malkin scored only 67 points last season but he will surely aim to surpass that this time around.
Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl are leading the points charts for the Oilers, scoring eight and six points, respectively. The duo was instrumental in taking the Oilers to the brink of glory last season, as the pair will aim to get the squad back in good form sooner rather than later.
