This is the fourth straight road game for Dallas and a tough place to play. The Dallas defense has made huge strides from last season where they ranked #10 in goals allowed, and seventh in penalty killing. They come off a 2-1 win at Philadelphia going UNDER the total. The Stars ranked #29 last season with a .895 save percentage, but new addition Antti Niemi and Kari Lehtonen have combined for a .925 mark thus far. They are 6-2 UNDER the total against the Metropolitan Division. Pittsburgh has been great on defense, second in goals allowed, but the talented offense hasn't got going, ranked #27 in goals, and #26 on the power play. Pittsburgh just ended an 0-for-17 power-play slump and is on a 32-15-4 UNDER the total, including 8-0-3 UNDER at home. The Penguins offense is averaging 33.7 shots, but just 1.7 goals. Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury is 3-0-0 with a 0.99 goals-against average and .963 save percentage during the team's winning streak. Pittsburgh is also on a 35-17-4 run UNDER the total against the Western Conference. When these teams meet the UNDER is 4-1, including 5-2 UNDER in Pittsburgh. Take the UNDER.
