The set-up: The Pens will be highly motivated to break a scuffling stretch. Most recently Pittsburgh comes in off a 6-2 loss to Carolina. In fact, the Penguins have lost two in a row by a combined score of 11-4. The Pens though only allow 2.85 GPG this season and I expect the visiting side to double down on the defensive end as they attempt to break the slide. The Devils only average 2.69 GPG and they come in having played much better of late by winning three of their last four.

The pick: The Pens have also seen the total go under the number in four of five this year already after playing to three or more straight "overs," while the Devils have seen the total go under in eight of their last 12 following a win by two goals or more. Considering all of the above factors, I do definitely expect this one to fall under once it's all said and done.

10* TOTAL DESTRUCTION on the UNDER Pens/Devils.
