Pittsburgh routed the Flyers in the first game, but the Penguins aren't likely to score seven goals again and the Flyers have had success when playing with one day of rest with a 22-10 record in that situation and the Penguins are 1-7 their last eight after scoring at least five goals their previous game. Brian Elliott had a rough outing on Wednesday, but he still is 23-11-7 with a 2.66 goals-against average. He had not allowed more than three goals his previous seven games. Matt Murray saved all 24 shots in Game One and he owns a 2.92 GAA and .907 save percentage. Murray is 27-16-3 on the season and has plenty of playoff experience. Look for this matchup to be lower scoring and much closer than the first game of the series and play the UNDER.
