This is a 9* play on PITTSBURGH

The Penguins picked up a much needed two points on Saturday as they downed Dallas 3-0. The Pens had lost three in a row before that. But they'd also won five straight before that three-game slide and had scored seven goals in two different wins. There have been three games already where the Pens have scored seven goals this year. So it's a little bit surprising that they aren't among the league leaders in goals scored. The same could be said for Philadelphia, who was a 7-4 winner at home over Columbus on Saturday. But then the Flyers went out and lost 5-3 to the Islanders Sunday. That was the end of a three-game win streak for them. Before that they'd lost four in a row. So we've got some streaky teams that can definitely score in this Keystone State battle Tuesday. We side with the Penguins as not only are they hosting, but they are better rested as well. Two days off is far more preferable to a third game in four nights. The Penguins have better goaltending as well. Play on PITTSBURGH
