Pittsburgh has a huge motivating factor in this matchup as it was embarrassed on its home ice in a 4-0 loss to the Ducks on Dec. 23. Since the beginning of the year, the Penguins have won five of six, including their last four in a row and have scored 19 goals their last four games. Pittsburgh defeated the Rangers on Sunday when Dominik Simon scored his first NHL goal and Phil Kessel added a goal and rookie Tristan Jarry made 26 saves. Anaheim has lost three of its last four and playing its first home game following a five-game trip. Pittsburgh is 7-2 the last nine meetings and 7-2 their last nine games after scoring at least five goals its previous game. The Ducks are 2-11 against an opponent that allowed two or fewer goals its previous game and 4-13 against teams with winning records. Play the Penguins.
