Pittsburgh at Ottawa

Pittsburgh heads north, sitting at 2-2 as their veteran guns haven't clicked offensively. Their defense is also ranked 19th in goals allowed. They've lost two in a row, including their last game as a -140 favorite in Winnipeg. They were beat 4-2, blowing a 2-0 lead. The Penguins are 1-4 in their last five games playing on one days rest and face an Ottawa team playing very well at fourth in the NHL in goals scored, fifth in goals allowed, fourth on the power play and eight in penalty killing. They come off their first loss giving up 6 goals to offensive-minded Tampa Bay, but the Senators are 4-1 in their last five after allowing 5 goals or more in their previous game. The Senators are also 7-3 in their last ten in the third game of a 3-in-4 situation and when these teams meet home ice has meant a lot. The home team is 6-2 in the last eight meetings. Play Ottawa.
