The set-up: Pittsburgh comes in off a 6-2 win at home over the Isles and I expect it to carry that momentum over here. Ottawa enters off a 5-2 home loss to the Canadiens and I believe it'll stumble again here in this difficult match-up. Pittsburgh averages 3.52 GPG and it allows 3.22. The Sens average 3.52 GPG, but they allow 4.10.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Pittsburgh is 17-8 in its last 25 after scoring six or more goals in a home win its previous outing, while Ottawa is just 1-4 the last five in this series. Lay the price with confidence.
