Pittsburgh is on a mission. Forget lack of playoff experience. This team is cruising. They are young but they are very good with Crosby and Malkin playing like seasoned vets. Marc-Andre Fleury was awesome vs. the Senators, allowing just five goals in four games. They are rested and get a Rangers team that was just 20-24 on the road this season. New York played extremely well vs. the Devils in round one which is why this line isn't higher. But Pittsburgh is the clear play here. The Penguins are 28-15 at home winning on average by a score of 3.4 to 2.3. They have won 31 of their last 48 games and they have the added motivation from revenge. They are are 11-2 this year at home revenging a road loss and we think they get revenge and a 1-0 lead.
