Ben Burns Today's Pick: PITTSBURGH PENGUINSNHL
Carolina vs. Pittsburgh
7:30 EST
Both teams have had roughly an equal amount of rest. The Hurricanes last played on 5/14. The Penguins closed off Washington a day earlier, on 5/13. That figures to work in Pittsburgh's favor. The Pens were 6-3 (+2.6) this season, when playing with three or more day's rest in between games. Conversely, the Canes were just 3-7 (-5) in that situation.
With this evening's over/under line listed at 5.5, note that the Pens have gone a profitable 34-12 (+15.2) the past few seasons, when playing at home with a total of 5.5. During the same stretch, the Canes were just 20-26 when playing a road game with a total of 5.5.
Yes, the Canes won both 2009 meetings with the Pens. However, the Hawks had also won the last two regular season meetings with the Wings and we saw what happened to them. Note that the Pens are a profitable 71-55 (+19) the past few seasons when facing a team which defeated them in the previous meeting.
The Pens were 4-1 in the Conference Finals last season, including a 4-2 win as -220 favorites in that series opener. I believe that they'll prove to be the stronger team in this series. Having already seen the rival Wings (the team that beat them in the Finals last year) win their opener, look for the Pens to deliver a huge effort and for them to also start things off with a victory. Consider Pittsburgh.
