Boston at Pittsburgh

A possible playoff preview as two of the top teams in the NHL face-off tonight. They are both powerhouse teams anchored by great defenses. The Pittsburgh Penguins are riding high on an eight-game winning streak and have allowed a total of 3 goals the last three games. They turn on the tough defense against strong teams as the UNDER is 16-7-2 in the Penguins last 25 games against a team with a winning percentage above .600. Boston is all about playing defense first for Coach Claude Julien, on a 4-0-1 run UNDER the total. The defense is third in the league in goals allowed and tops at penalty killing. When the Bruins play a strong team, the UNDER is 53-22-8 against a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. And when these teams meet defense rules the day with the UNDER is 5-2 in the last seven meetings. Play the Bruins/Penguins UNDER the total.
