Premium Pick

There's no reason for Pittsburgh to be into this game. The Penguins secured second place in the Metropolitan Division and home-ice advantage against Columbus in the first round of the playoffs. Pittsburgh is also banged up, with defenseman Olli Maatta out, missing 24 games with a hand injury, and Evgeni Malkin hasn't played since March 15 due to a shoulder injury. Top blue-liner Kris Letang is out until next season with a herniated disk in his neck that requires surgery. Toronto is home for the third straight game and needs to win to clinch a playoff berth, which would be their first in four years. Toronto is on an 11-5 run, fifth in the NHL in goals scored, and second on the power play. The Maple Leafs are 10-4 against the East Conference, plus 8-3 playing on one day of rest. Play Toronto.
