The Pittsburgh Penguins are going to be a tough out come playoffs time, but for the moment their offense has hit a bit of a down turn. They reached four goals or more in 11 of their first 30 games on the season, but they have not been able to do so in any of their last seven, and just once in their last 16 games. Things have gone from bad to worse as the Penguins have managed just three total goals in their last three contests. The Lightning are also having a big season, and the defense has carried the way in their current four-game winning streak, allowing just 1.75 goals a contest in the four games. The Lightning also come in riding a 5-0 streak to the UNDER when facing a team that allowed 2 goals or less in their previous game. The Penguins bring the "D" vs. the elite teams as they are 38-16-3 to the UNDER in their last 57 games vs. a team over .600. Play on the UNDER.
