#21/22 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* OVER 6 Goals - Pittsburgh Penguins at Vancouver Canucks, Tuesday at 10 PM ET - The Penguins are coming off a crazy 7-6 win over the division rival Flyers. This continued a high-scoring trend for the Pens as they have now scored at least 4 goals in 4 of their last 5 games. Defensively, if you take out the results against two bottom-dwelling teams (Montreal and Chicago), Pittsburgh has allowed at least 4 goals in 3 of last 4 games against teams with a pulse! Vancouver is a strong team and they will be able to score well here on the Penguins as that trend continues. But right now Pittsburgh is scoring so well that this has the makings of a back and forth 4-3 type affair. Vancouver is off a 3-2 OT win over the Bruins but prior to this they had allowed at least 3 goals in 4 straight games and actually allowed at least 4 goals in 3 of those. Demko has not been at his best lately between the pipes and he is expected to get the call here as he was in the starters' crease at the morning skate. Considering that as well as the Penguins recent knack for giving up too many goals when facing quality opposition and you have a barnburner likely in this one. Each of the last 3 meetings between these teams have totaled at least 6 goals. Both teams are rested here as well as neither was in action yesterday. Fresh legs. Look for at least 7 in this one! Over is our play here.
