Pittsburgh is #9 in the NHL in goals allowed and are getting it together, off a 5-0 rout of Carolina as Sidney Crosby is heating up. Crosby also scored two goals in a 4-3 overtime victory against St. Louis on November 25, and Evgeni Malkin tallied the winner. The Penguins are converting at 31.7 percent on the power play in their past 13. Their penalty kill is 33 for 36 in the last 12 contests, and newly acquired forward Carl Hagelin helped them go four-for-four in Sunday's victory. St. Louis is home, but on a 3-6 run with an offense that is #20 in goals scored. The Blues are 4-11 following a win and 3-8 against the Eastern Conference. Play Pittsburgh.
