The teams met in last season's playoffs and the Penguins won the series in seven games and this is the first meeting since. The Penguins come off a 5-4 overtime win over Buffalo on Tuesday when Sidney Crosby ended a scoring drought and assisted on Conor Sheary's game-winning goal and Matt Murray saved 28 shots. Murray is 10-4 in 16 games with a .903 save percentage and 2.98 goals-against average. Ottawa has won two straight and both were against Colorado and the Senators haven't played for four days after playing in Sweden. Craig Anderson and Mike Condon split time in Saturday's win with Anderson saving all eight shots he faced and he's expected in net tonight. Ottawa is 1-4 after a win and Pittsburgh is 64-28 its last 92 games with one day of rest and 24-11 after scoring at least five goals its previous game. Go with the Penguins.
