The set-up: Detroit lost 4-1 in Boston yesterday. Pittsburgh is about a -500 favorite in this game, so the Red Wings won't expect to have any mercy put upon them here. The visitors have nothing to lose (except another game of course!), and I believe that after yesterday's low-scoring effort, that they come out and push the pace of this one from start to finish. While only averageing 2.02 GPG, the Wings come in allowing 3.71. The Pens on the other hand average 3.27 GPG, while allowing 2.70.

The pick: Note as well that Pittsburgh has already seen the total go "over" the number in four of its last five after playing three or more straight "unders." I think the home side destroys the Wings today, but I also expect Detroit to put a couple in the back of the net as well. This number is low, expect a shootout.

10* TOTAL DESTRUCTION on the OVER Wings/Pens.
