Toronto is on a hot steak, but they just finished a five-game homestand. The Maple Leafs are 15-38 on the road against a team with a home winning percentage of greater than .600. Surging Pittsburgh is 22-7-1 at home and playing well, on an 8-2 run. Captain Sidney Crosby has 20 points in the last 10 games and former Maple Leafs skater Phil Kessel has 18 in that same stretch. Goalie Matt Murray is off a 34-save performance in a 3-1 victory over the L.A. Kings to improve to 6-0-1 in his last seven starts while boosting his save percentage to .924 in his last 10 outings. The Penguins are ninth in the NHL in goals scored, and tops on the power play. The Penguins are 30-10 at home versus a team with a winning road record and the Maple Leafs are 3-8 in this building. Play Pittsburgh.
