Premium Pick

Talented Pittsburgh is out West and riding a 4-1 run. The Penguins are #10 in the NHL in goals scored, #5 in goals allowed, with specialty units ranked in the top seven. That improved defense is why the Penguins are 7-3-1 UNDER the total on the road, and 18-6-2 UNDER against the Western Conference. They are a road dog despite being 16-8-3 on the road. The Penguins are also 38-14 after scoring two goals or fewer in their previous game. Anaheim is home but #18 in the league in goals allowed. Anaheim's power play has gone cold too, with one goal over the last 11 games. The club is drawing 1.6 chances per game in that span compared to 3.3 previously. Anaheim is on a 4-1 run UNDER the total. It's a tough matchup for the home team with the Penguins 7-2 in the last nine meetings, plus Sidney Crosby has five goals and three assists in his last five versus Anaheim. The UNDER is also 4-1 when they meet, including 4-1 UNDER in Anaheim. Play Pittsburgh and the game UNDER the total.
