You need defense to play a team like Pittsburgh, but that's a large flaw with Toronto who ranks #23 in the league in goals allowed. The Maple Leafs are 4-11 in their last 15 road games. Pittsburgh is rolling on offense (tops in goals scored) and on defense (#6 in goals allowed). Evgeni Malkin scored a pair of goals, including the deciding tally in overtime as Pittsburgh posted a 3-2 victory in Boston on Monday. The Penguins are 8-2 against a team with a winning record. The Penguins have won four straight and six of seven against Toronto and Sidney Crosby has torched Toronto for 21 goals and 47 points in 30 games. The Maple Leafs are 1-5 in the last six meetings in Pittsburgh, so grab home ice and play on Pittsburgh.
