Colorado at Pittsburgh

Colorado has a new coach and a new style. The offense scored plenty on a weak Dallas defense, but that was at home. Now they head to play the defending champions on the road, who play great defense. Colorado will play four games in six days during a tough Eastern Conference swing. Pittsburgh was sixth in the NHL in goals allowed last year and is on a 6-1-2 run UNDER the total going back to last year's playoffs. The defense has allowed two goals in each of the first two games, both 3-2 finals. Captain Sidney Crosby remains out indefinitely with a concussion, and this shapes up as a game with more defense than offense. Play UNDER the total in this one.
