Pregame analysis and predictions of the Boston Bruins vs. Edmonton Oilers NHL game to be played on December 31, 2025 on ESPN.
My Bruins vs. Oilers predictions and NHL picks expect a convincing win from Edmonton with superstar Connor McDavid taking center stage tonight. The Edmonton Oilers are trending in the right direction with an active 9-3-1 stretch that has positioned them atop the Pacific Division, and they’re also up to 10-3-3 on home ice for the campaign.
Casey Mittelstadt and Michael Eyssimont also scored goals, and David Pastrnak had a pair of assists as the Bruins returned from a three-game road trip to open a five-game homestand with a victory. Barrett Hayton scored for the Mammoth, and Vitek Vanecek made 19 saves.
Mattias Samuelsson had a goal and two assists as the Buffalo Sabres beat the Boston Bruins 4-1 for their eighth straight victory.
Staked to a 1-0 lead in the first period by a David Pastrnak goal, the Bruins were swept out to a frigid, blustery Lake Erie in the second, with the Sabres striking for three quick goals on Joonas Korpisalo in a span of 6:15
With his three-point performance against the Thunderbirds, Poitras has now recorded six goals and 18 points in 27 games so far this season with Providence. He has also posted three goals and five points over his last four games, so it is clear that the young forward is starting to heat up for Providence.

Canadiens score 4 in the 3rd period to turn fight-filled game against rival Bruins into a laugher
Boston killed a four-minute power play when Steeves was sent off for a high-sticking double minor late in the second, and then appeared to take the lead with 5 seconds left in the period, but Elias Lindholm’s goal after a scramble in the crease was waved off for goaltender interference. The Canadiens face Tampa Bay on Sunday.
Will Zellers continues to give the Bruins things to be excited about. The 19-year-old forward, who the Bruins acquired in the Charlie Coyle trade, was one of the stars of Day 1 of the IIHF World Junior Hockey Championships in St. Paul.
The Bruins got the fast start they were hoping for when Andrew Peeke scored less than two minutes into Monday night’s game, but that was all the offense they could muster in a 2-1 overtime loss at Calgary.
