This has become a big rivalry as these teams exchanged Stanley Cup Finals wins vs. each other two and three years ago. They both are players again in that regard, so this game will certainly be electric. The Penguins are 19-8 in their last 27, and have broken free of a little down cycle by winning their last two. The Red Wings got off to a blazing start, but their play over their last 22 games shows them at 11-11. Detroit has been awful as a short dog as in the range of +110 to +150 they are now struggling to a 6-20 mark in their last 26. Pittsburgh has ruled the roost at home for a long time now at 104-49 in their last 153 played here. The favorite has cashed nine of the last 10 between these clubs and Detroit has lost the last four in Pittsburgh. The home team takes the cash tonight.
