Penguins at Oilers projected goalies
Tristan Jarry (4-0-0, 2.01 GAA, .941 SV%, 0 SO) vs. Jack Campbell (2-2-0, 3.82 GAA, .889 SV%, 0 SO)
Jarry was a little shaky early on in his last against Columbus Saturday, but he really shut the door after allowing 3 goals in the first 24 minutes of the game. He had trouble with Edmonton in his only start against them last year, allowing 4 goals on 21 shots.
Campbell was great in the 2-0 loss to St. Louis Saturday, stopping 20 of 21 shots. He was shaky in the first 3 games, though, allowing 11 goals on 87 shots. Campbell was 1-2-0 with a 3.03 GAA and .918 SV% in 3 games against Pittsburgh last year.

Penguins at Oilers picks and predictions Prediction
Oilers 4, Penguins 3
Moneyline
The Penguins can’t start slowly and expect to win this one. All 4 of their wins saw them score 6 goals, but Campbell was an All-Star for the Toronto Maple Leafs last season, and he’ll keep them under that threshold.
I’m siding with the home team in this one as OILERS (-125) is the way to go.
Puck line/Against the spread
The last 3 meetings between these teams have resulted in multiple-goal wins. The puck line is ripe, but Edmonton isn’t playing well enough to trust, and they got off to a horrible start last year before their coach was fired. Let’s take the Pre-Built SGP of OILERS & OVER 5.5 (+200), which rewards more with less risk.
Over/Under
Pittsburgh is 4-1-0 O/U and Edmonton is 2-2-1 O/U. The Over is actually just 4-6-0 over the last 10 meetings between the teams. The Pens have the top-scoring offense in the league, and Edmonton should be in that conversation. The Oilers are going to be buzzing in their own building after they were just shut out.
Take the OVER 6.5 (-140).
