The Pittsburgh Penguins go on the road to take on the Vancouver Canucks. Pittsburgh is 26-21-8 but is in 11th place in the East. The Penguins are putting up 2.98 goals a game but on the defensive end, they are giving up just 2.71 goals. Pittsburgh is currently 11-11-4 on the road this season. The Vancouver Canucks come into this game with a league’s best 38-16-6 record. Vancouver is putting up 3.63 goals a game and on the defensive end, they are giving up 2.73 goals. The Canucks snapped a four-game losing streak last time out. Vancouver’s Demko has allowed two or fewer goals in five of his last seven games. This is the beginning of a West Coast road trip for Pittsburgh so the time change could be a factor early on. This will be a close game but I like Vancouver to pull it out in the end.

Play on Vancouver. This is a  4% play.
