This is a 6* SITUATIONAL DESTRUCTION on the Pittsburgh Penguins.

No need to overanalyze this one, we look for the surging Penguins to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night. Pittsburgh is coming off a 4-3 win over Montreal in a shootout on Wednesday. The Pens will be extra motivated today after Columbus took three of four from them last year. Columbus comes in off a 5-3 loss to Vancouver on Tuesday, blowing a one-goal third-period lead by conceding two gals in a 4:47 span. Blue Jackets goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky owns a pedestrian 2.98 GAA in seven regular-season starts at Pittsburgh, while Fleury is 5-2-0 with a 2.30 GAA in seven-regular season home starts vs. the Jackets (note that Fleury is currently among the league leaders as well with a 2.01 GAA to open the season). Also note that the Pens possess one of the league's top penalty kills at 87.5 percent. Play on PITTSBURGH.
