Montreal at Pittsburgh

Winless Pittsburgh has loads of speed and talent on offense, so this 0-2 start is a bit of a surprise. Perhaps opening with two road games on the West Coast had them out of sync, but they are rested and ready for tonight's home opener. The Penguins are 97-46 when playing on two days rest and 15-7 against the Atlantic Division. Montreal goalie Carey Price has often been tagged by the Penguins, losing six of eight (2-4-2) while posting a 3.42 goals-against average. Pittsburgh newcomer Phil Kessel has enjoyed his fair share of success against the Canadiens, collecting 43 points (17 goals, 26 assists) in 49 meetings while playing with Toronto. When these teams square off, the Canadiens are 4-9 in the last 13 meetings, including 2-5 at Pittsburgh, so grab the home team and play on Pittsburgh.
