KEY GAME INFORMATION
PITTSBURGH: LAST SEASON: 47-29-6, 100 points. Finished second in Metropolitan Division.
LOST to Washington Capitals in Eastern Conference semifinals.
COACH: Mike Sullivan (fourth season, sixth NHL season).
ADDED: D Jack Johnson, C Matt Cullen.
LOST: F Conor Sheary, F Tom Kuhnhackl, D Matt Hunwick, F Carter Rowney.
PLAYER TO WATCH: G Matt Murray. The 24-year-old endured an up and down first season as the franchise's full-time starter. His goals against average (2.92) and save percentage (.907) all took significant dips off his previous two seasons. Having spotty play in front of him didn't help. If Murray can return to the steady form that helped the Penguins to consecutive Stanley Cups in 2016 and 2017, Pittsburgh will be a tough out in the postseason.
OUTLOOK: Pittsburgh's bid to become the first team in more than 30 years to "threepeat" ended with a loss to Washington. They opted to tinker than totally retool in the offseason, splurging on Johnson and bringing back the 42-year-old Cullen to provide depth down the middle. With Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin around, the Penguins will always be in the mix. But with the core of Crosby, Malkin, Phil Kessel and Kris Letang all in their early 30s, staying fresh for eight months will be a challenge.
EDMONTON: LAST SEASON: 36-40-6, 78 points. Finished sixth in Pacific Division and missed playoffs.
COACH: Todd McLellan (Fourth season, 11th NHL season)
ADDED: D Jakub Jerabek, G Mikko Koskinen
LOST: D Eric Gryba
PLAYER TO WATCH: C Connor McDavid. Last season's Art Ross Trophy winner with a league-high 108 points, McDavid also won the Ted Lindsay Award as the most outstanding player as voted by the NHLPA. McDavid is the fastest, most dynamic and best player in hockey and is must-see entertainment every time he steps on the ice. Watch him as much as possible.
OUTLOOK: Who knows? McDavid can't carry the Oilers to the playoffs by himself, and general manager Peter Chiarelli didn't do anything to shake up Edmonton's mix after such a disappointing year. Goaltender Cam Talbot needs to rebound and a young, unproven defense must be significantly better for playoff hockey to return to Edmonton.
PREVIEW
McDavid's Oilers take on Crosby's Penguins

The Edmonton Oilers didn't have wait long to face the Pittsburgh Penguins' duo of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.

And Edmonton coach Todd McLellan believes he has a pair of players just as formidable in Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl.

The Oilers look for a rare win over the Penguins as they continue a homestand against top-tier teams on Tuesday night.

Edmonton hasn't beaten Pittsburgh in regulation since Jan. 10, 2014, going 1-5-2.

And since McDavid's rookie season in 2015-16, the Oilers have dropped three one-goal decisions to the Penguins in Western Canada.

"We got to try and get a big win against a team that knows how to win games," McDavid said after practice on Monday.

Crosby -- now in his 14th season -- has taken home more than his share of hardware including two MVP titles, two scoring championships and three Stanley Cups.

But McDavid could not point to one facet of No. 87's game that stands out.

"It's his full 200-foot game," Edmonton's captain said hours after being named the league's second star of the week. "He's dominant in the faceoff circle. Solid defensively and, obviously, his offense speaks for itself.

"He's a guy that's kind of that perfect mix of everything. He's got that flash, but he's also got a grind to him that is hard to ."

It's hard to perceive Crosby as struggling offensively, but he's logged just five assists through six games. In seven career games versus the Oilers in Edmonton, Crosby has one goal and seven helpers.

Pittsburgh (3-1-2) opened a four-game Canadian road trip Saturday with a 3-0 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs behind two goals and an assist from Malkin.

Malkin is the Pens' top producer this season with three three-point games. He's also

collected three goals and nine assists on the season.

A two-time scoring champion, Malkin has five goals and an assist in a five-game points streak against the Oilers. Pittsburgh has never lost in regulation -- 9-0-2 -- to Edmonton when Malkin notches at least one point.

McDavid (four goals, seven assists in six games) is an MVP and the reigning two-time scoring champion. He's also posted two goals and five assists in four career games versus the Pens.

"He's a great player. He's done an amazing job since he's gotten into the league," Crosby told the team's official website. "He's off to another great start.

"He's always a challenge to . You've got to make sure you're ready to go."

Pittsburgh will also have to watch out for Draisaitl, who has just two goals and four assists in six games, but is always dangerous.

"(Pittsburgh) sounds like our team with Connor and Leon when they're playing well," McLellan noted Monday. "We should be a tough matchup for them. They should be talking about what it's like with 97 and 29."

Tuesday's tilt at Rogers Place is the Oilers' fourth of six straight against teams that recorded at least 100 points last season. Edmonton (3-3-0) faces the defending Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals on Thursday before traveling for a rematch with the Nashville Predators on Saturday.

The Oilers' three-game winning streak ended with a 3-0 loss to Nashville last Saturday.
