Don't look for any defense with two fast-skating, offensive-oriented clubs flying around the ice. Pittsburgh is tops in the NHL in goals scored, seventh on the power play, #17 in goals allowed. Pittsburgh is on a 36-17-2 run OVER the total, 33-16-4 OVER when their opponent allows five or more goals in their previous game. Dallas is #13 in goals scored but the defense continues to be dismal at #29 in goals allowed, and last in penalty killing. They come off a 6-3 home loss to Boston as part of a 13-3 run OVER the total at home, as well as 8-2 OVER when playing on one day of rest. Take the OVER in this one.
