Pittsburgh is off a couple of losses but can you blame them? They faced San Jose and Anaheim. And, only lost by one goal in each. Prior to those two tough games, they won five straight. The Penguins have put together a 7-5 record thanks to defense. They are allowing just 2.3 goals per game at home. With high-powered Tampa Bay coming to town, they will need great defense. But I like Pittsburgh's ability to score in this one. They are getting 4.0 goals per game over their last five games and the Lightning are allowing 3.4 over their last five. Penguins.
