Pittsburgh at Tampa Bay

Pittsburgh ended a skid with a big win in their last game, 4-1 over Florida. The Penguins have plenty of balance and muscle, No. 8 in the NHL in scoring, No. 5 in penalty killing and No. 10 in goals allowed. "It's a huge relief. It wasn't fun for anybody," goalie Marc-Andre Fleury said. "It got frustrating, but everybody stuck together. Our last game in Washington (1-0 loss) was a good game for a lot of guys, but we couldn't win that one." The Penguins are 40-13 in their last 53 vs. a team with a losing record. Pittsburgh is 15-6-3 when scoring first and has a great chance to do that again against a terrible Tampa Bay defense, ranked No. 30 in the league in goals allowed and No. 25 in penalty killing. Tampa Bay has dropped six in a row. The Lightning are 2-9 in their last 11 games against a team with a winning record and 0-5 in their last five games as an underdog. When these teams meet, the road team is 5-2 in the last seven meetings. Play the Pittsburgh Penguins.
