Arizona at Pittsburgh

The Pittsburgh Penguins have gotten off to a quick start in defense of their Stanley Cup winning season a year ago. They have opened 2-0, and are off a thrilling shootout victory on the road over the Islanders. The Phoenix Coyotes opened with a road win in LA, and must head east to take on the always tough Penguins. The Coyotes finished last season at just 12-22 in their final 34 and are not even close to the Penguins right now, who are suffering no hangover from winning the Cup last year. This is a Penguins team that has gone 52-20 in their last 72 home games, and 36-15 in their last 51 overall. The home team has won nine of the last 13 in this series, and I like Pittsburgh to win this one at home.
