Washington at Pittsburgh

This is the fifth road game over the last seven contests for Washington, including a trip out West. They've looked road weary, only outscoring opponents 40-39 in non-shootout goals in a month-long stretch prior to posting a four-goal gap in wins over Carolina on Tuesday and Nashville on Friday. They get a big test here. Pittsburgh has a winning record both home and away and has won five in a row, outscoring the opposition 18-9. The Penguins have speed on offense and great balance, #9 in goals scored, #7 in goals allowed, and #6 in penalty killing. Pittsburgh has the East's best goal differential at plus-23 over the past two months, so grab the home dog. Play Pittsburgh.
