Premium Pick

Pittsburgh has a new coach and plenty of defense, ranked #11 in goals allowed and #8 in penalty killing. New Penguins coach Mike Sullivan got his first victory entering the holiday break, a 5-2 rout of Columbus. Evgeni Malkin and Phil Kessel had two goals apiece. Rookie goalie Matt Murray has started the last two games, stopping 46 of 50 shots. Pittsburgh has done well against Minnesota, winning four of the last five meetings. Minnesota goalie Devan Dubnyk has not been 100%, allowing nine goals in his last three starts after missing the previous four games with a groin injury. He's 2-3-0 with a 3.16 goals-against average in his career against Pittsburgh after losing 4-3 in the last meeting, so jump on the talented, big dog again. Play Pittsburgh.
