The Pittsburgh Penguins are the hottest team in the NHL right now having recorded a 9-0-1 mark in their last 10 games. The Thrashers are right behind them, as they have now won six straight, and will look to make it a team record seven straight tonight. The problem here is they are playing a hotter Pittsburgh team that has dominated them. The Thrashers have lost seven in a row to the Penguins. They have had no answer for Sydney Crosby who has 28 points in 19 games vs. Atlanta, and was instrumental in their 4-2 win earlier in the season with a goal and two assists. Ondrej Pavlec has been hot in goal for the Thrashers, but Pittsburgh is his nemesis. Pavlec is 0-5 against the Penguins allowing 4.73 goals a game. I'm on Pittsburgh here.
