The set-up: Anaheim was hampered by injury last year and it suffered through a terrible campaign. The Ducks have gotten out to a quick start this season though with 3-0 record thus far. The Penguins are just 1-2 and this is the final game of their home stand. From a situational stand point, I think this one sets up beautifully for the Pens. The Ducks come in complacent, the home side enters focussed.

The pick: Additionally take into account Anaheim's wins, which have come over the Coyotes, Sharks and Red Wings. Yes Pittsburgh is dealing with some early injury issues (Malkin), but that's just part of the game. The season is young and Sid The Kid and Matt Murray are still fresh. I think the home side makes adjustments and then makes the most of this favorable home spot. Lay the price.
