Pittsburgh bounced back from a terrible Opening Night when it lost 6-0 to the New York Rangers with a 6-3 victory over Detroit on Thursday. Anthony Beauvillier scored twice to back Joel Blomqvist, who had 29 saves in his NHL debut. Tristan Jarry will likely be back in net for this game as he tries to redeem himself after allowing all six goals against the Rangers. Jarry had a 2.91 goals-against average and a .903 save percentage in 51 games last season. Anthony Stolarz suffered a tough loss in the season opener losing 1-0 to Montreal while stopping 26 shots for the Maple Leafs and he is expected to start tonight. Toronto has lost four of five home games and nine of 13 overall dating to last season and Pittsburgh is getting good value. Take the Penguins.
