These teams are evenly matched on paper, separated by just three points in the standings and currently residing in 5th place of their respective divisions. Pittsburgh snapped a four-game losing streak with a pair of wins over the weekend, sneaking just inside the Eastern Conference playoff bubble, but there is still plenty of work to do and Mike Sullivan knows it. Seven different players scored for the Pens in Sunday's 7-3 win over the Lightning, their most prolific night on offense since Jan. 24. Nashville has won three in a row and four of five, averaging 5.4 goals in their past five, but when a moneyline dog has scored 5+ goals in three consecutive games, they are just 17-60. The Pens have a 17-7 history vs. the Predators and they'll need to bring the same kind of intensity they flashed against Tampa. Tristan Jarry (17-7-5, 2.79 GAA) is confirmed and he's allowed just two goals per game in three starts since returning from a four-week layoff. Take the Penguins on the moneyline.
