Edmonton at Pittsburgh

First-place Edmonton has impressed with their fast skating offense, but don't overlook the defense that is ninth in the NHL in goals allowed, and fourth in penalty killing. Edmonton is on an 8-2 run UNDER the total, as well as 14-2 UNDER after allowing two or fewer goals in their previous game. They come off a 2-1 win at Detroit and the team is 14-6-1 UNDER after scoring two or fewer goals. And speaking of defense, defending champion Pittsburgh can play tough 'D', too, off a 5-0 win at San Jose. Pittsburgh is also 7-2-2 UNDER the total against the Pacific Division and this shapes up as a defensive battle. This one stays UNDER.
