Premium Pick

Not often we are willing to lay -1.5 goals but here's one of those situations. If it hits, we'll score a nice +239 payday. Pittsburgh has only won nine road games htis year and their defense is horrendous. They allow 3.6 goals per game on the road, allowing 11.8% SOG and 25.8% power play conversion. Boston has absolutely dominated them here. Boston is 15-4 vs. the Penguins the past ten years here and the last three seasons have seen Boston win four straight by an average score of 4.8 to 2.0. Not once did they win by less than two goals. Boston has a bad defense too but they are 13-10 at home as they find ways to win. Pittsburgh struggles mightily vs. good offensive teams like Boston. Teams that get 29+ shots on goal per game and 17%+ power play conversion are 13-4 vs. the Penguins. We'll lay the -1.5 for the big payday.
