The Penguins, who average 3.20 goals per game, should be able to score behind Sidney Crosby, Jake Guentzel, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone and creating open shots on the net with great puck movement. Florida played last night in NYC plus had to travel last night. The big edge that I give here to Pittsburgh is defensively as they are much better at limiting the scoring chances of opposing teams and should be able to neutralize the good offense of the Panthers. Florida’s defense has been horrible, as evidenced by last night’s 6-2 loss to the Rangers.
The Penguins should win the game with a strong performance on their home ice.
