Boston at Pittsburgh

Boston has won both meetings this season and four of the past five, and the Bruins and goalie Jaroslav Halak look to bounce back from a 4-0 loss to the New York Rangers on Saturday. Halak is probable in net tonight as Tuukka Rask is questionable with a back injury. Halak is still 6-3-2 with a 2.07 goals-against average this season. Rask is 8-4-2 and the Bruins generally have been getting great goaltending all season. They'll have to slow down the Penguins, who have won five in a row, but Boston has won nine of its last 12 against teams with winning records and seven of 10 playing with one day of rest. Pittsburgh is just 2-7 its last nine games as an underdog. Play the Bruins on the puck line.
