Chicago at Pittsburgh

This is a high total because of all this star power on offense, but don't overlook how good these defenses can be. Chicago is #10 in the league in goals allowed, eighth in penalty killing. The Blackhawks are 33-15-12 UNDER the total against the Metropolitan Division. Pittsburgh is just #22 in goals scored and the defense plays its best hockey at home, where they have yet to lose in regulation. Goalie Matt Murray improved to 4-2-0 with a .910 save percentage this month after a 3-1 victory at Ottawa on Thursday. The Penguins are 7-2-1 UNDER the total playing on one day of rest, plus 7-3 UNDER against the Western Conference. When these teams meet there is more defense than you might think, on a 5-1-2 run UNDER the total, including 4-0-2 UNDER at Pittsburgh. Play the UNDER.
