A pair of strong defensive teams clash. Boston is eighth in the NHL in goals allowed, third in penalty killing. They come off a 2-1 overtime victory at Montreal as ace goaltender Tuukka Rask lowered his goals-against average to 1.80. Boston has killed off all 17 short-handed situations in the past six games, but is in a 1-for-20 slump with the man advantage. The Bruins are on a 9-4-3 run UNDER the total, including 6-1-2 UNDER on the road. Pittsburgh has strong goaltending as well, off a shutout win over Arizona. They've allowed four goals total the last three games and the UNDER is 10-4-2 when these rivals clash. Take the UNDER in this one.
