Pittsburgh at Minnesota

The Pittsburgh Penguins are no stranger to the top of the Metropolitan Conference, and through 10 games they find themselves in first place with a 7-2-1 record. They have done great work on the defensive end of the ice, allowing just 2.2 goals per contest on the season. Tonight they take on Minnesota, a team that has opened at 7-3, and has been the toughest team in the NHL to score on this season. The Wild have allowed a stingy 18 goals through 10 games at 1.8 per contest. This looks to be a physically played, tight-checking contest between a pair of clubs who have been very unyielding on the defensive end. The Penguins have played to a 4-0 mark to the UNDER in their last four on the road vs. a team over .600. Minnesota has been following up a defensive stand with another, logging a 6-2 mark to the UNDER in their last eight after allowing 2 or fewer goals in their previous contest. This one stays UNDER.
