Pittsburgh has won two in a row and eight of 11 after defeating Nashville 5-4 in overtime, and it was the third straight game the Penguins have gone into OT. Bryan Rust scored the game-winner, and Sidney Crosby had a goal to end his 10-game scoring drought. Tristan Jarry had 22 saves for the Penguins, and he is likely to start tonight, while Jacob Markstrom is expected to get the call for New Jersey, which comes off a 4-2 loss at Columbus. The Penguins have won five of six against teams that scored that scored two or fewer goals their previous game. Pittsburgh has averaged 4.3 goals their past nine games and it is a live underdog in this matchup. Take the Penguins.
