New York at Pittsburgh

The Rangers are a very good home team. They are 8-2 at home where they play incredible defense. On the road, they still play good defense (2.3 goals allowed per game), but their offense is horrible, as is their record. On the road they are averaging 1.9 goals per game and stand at 3-6. Pittsburgh is off a confidence-building win to break a four-game losing streak. The Penguins have been average offensively but bad on defense. However, versus division foes, they are playing ok defense. That should be enough tonight to hold down this Rangers offense. We see New York really struggling to score. Pittsburgh will be looking for revenge for their 4-2 loss to New York earlier this season. When seeking revenge for a game in which they gave up 4+ goals, the Penguins are 21-12 since last season. New York is 13-5 UNDER this season and in hard-fought division games, Pittsburgh is 6-3 UNDER. Look for Pittsburgh to play hard, hold New York down, and get a big win in a low-scoring affair.
