This is strength against strength. Pittsburgh has gotten to 8-3 on offense. New Jersey is 6-1-0-3 thanks to their defense. But, the truth is that neither of these teams allows much in the way of goals to opposing offenses. The Penguins have given up 2.4 per game overall, and they do even better on the road where they are allowing only 2.0 per game. Over their last five, they've allowed just 1.6 per game. The Devils have given up 2.2 per game overall, including just 2.0 at home. This one is going to be about intense defense, so I like the game to stay UNDER 6 goals.
