Pittsburgh +112 over Ottawa

7:00 PM ET. OT included. The Penguins are quietly emerging as one of the more underrated teams in the East, having tallied 36 goals in their last eight games (6-2-0). Interestingly, Crosby and Malkin have just one goal between them over that stretch, meaning Pittsburgh’s secondary scoring is thriving. Bryan Rust, who notched a hat trick and four points in the Montreal rout, is proving his value as a key contributor alongside breakout performances from supporting players. This team is finding ways to win, even when the big guns aren't lighting the lamp.

Meanwhile, Ottawa’s recent run of success against Pittsburgh (4-0 in their last four meetings) and their 3-0 shutout win over Carolina on Friday might lead bettors to back the home team. However, the Senators are on the second leg of a back-to-back, and while fatigue might not be glaring early, it tends to rear its head late in games. Pittsburgh is playing their best hockey of the season, and as a pooch is absolutely worth a wager.
