Premium Pick

Pittsburgh has coasted to two wins in its first two games winning by identical 6-2 scores against Arizona and Tampa Bay. Sidney Crosby had a goal and two assists, Jake Guentzel had a goal and an assist and the Penguins scored four times in the third period to beat the Lightning on Saturday. Tristan Jarry had 34 saves in his second win of the season. Montreal is in rebuilding mode coming off the worst record in the NHL in 2021-22 and it has lost its last two games while scoring only one goal versus Detroit and Washington. The Penguins have won 21 of 29 against a team that scored two or fewer goals its previous game and the Canadiens have lost 20 of 26 against the Metropolitan Division. Also, Montreal is just 8-23 its past 31 home games and Jarry was 2-0-0 with a 1.00 goals-against average versus Montreal last season. Take the Penguins as a Max Play.
