This is a high NHL total but don't ignore the defensive capabilities of Pittsburgh, winning two of the last three Stanley Cups. The Penguins have allowed nine goals the last three games and have the fourth-ranked penalty kill (92.3 percent) in the league. Pittsburgh is 5-2 UNDER the total against winning teams and the offense isn't clicking on all cylinders at #13 in goals scored, #14 on the power play. Toronto has won five in a row and playing good defense, allowing six total goals the last three contests. They've allowed only eight goals in three home games this season where the Maple Leafs are on a 4-1 run UNDER, and this total is far too high. Play the UNDER.
