Pittsburgh at Vancouver

Pittsburgh is a long way from home, playing the second game of a four-game trek. It's also their fourth road game in six contests. The Penguins still haven't busted out on offense at #26 in goals scored and #27 on the power play. The Penguins are 1-5 when their opponent allows two goals or less in their previous game and they face a talented all-around Vancouver team, one ranked ninth in goals scored and sixth in goals allowed. Vancouver has killed off all nine short-handed situations over the last four games. The Canucks are 13-6 against the Eastern Conference and 14-4 vs. the Metropolitan Division. Vancouver improved to 3-0-1 in its last four with a 4-1 victory over Philadelphia. Ryan Miller is in net, stopping 52 of 54 shots in wins over previously unbeaten Montreal and the Flyers. He also made 31 saves in a 5-0 home victory over Pittsburgh when they last met. This is the seventh home contest over the last nine games for the Canucks, so grab the rested home team and play Vancouver.
