The Penguins come into this game riding a wave of positive momentum. Their recent performance against the Vancouver Canucks showcased their resilience and ability to perform under pressure, securing a victory with an overtime goal that capped off a 4-3 win. This triumph was built on a solid foundation of even-strength goals and an impressive penalty kill rate.

Another notable victory came against the Philadelphia Flyers where the Penguins demonstrated their offensive prowess by netting seven goals. Their power play efficiency was particularly remarkable during this encounter, converting two out of four opportunities.

Against the Montreal Canadiens, Pittsburgh's defense shined through as they allowed only one goal throughout the match while scoring four times themselves. The goaltending was exceptional with a save percentage rounding up to 100 percent and contributing significantly to their 4-1 win.

These recent games highlight several trends for the Penguins: they have been strong on both ends of the ice with effective special teams play and clutch scoring when it matters most. However, consistency in faceoff wins has been fluctuating and could be an area for improvement as they prepare for Edmonton's challenge.
