This is a 10* on PITTSBURGH

Pittsburgh has surged into second place in the Metropolitan Division by going 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. They are now only four points back of Washington. They just exacted some revenge for one of their few recent losses, beating Boston 4-3 on Saturday. (They had previously lost in Boston on Thursday.) Now the Penguins head to a place where they've been pretty successful through the years. They are 6-1 their last seven games here in Philadelphia and also beat the Flyers 7-1 in Pittsburgh in the only prior meeting of this season. The Flyers have fallen into sixth place in the Metro, meaning they would not be a playoff team. While they may be good enough to climb back into the top four, they simply aren't as good as Pittsburgh is. We will note the Flyers have a 16-4-4 record at home. But Pittsburgh has proven it can win here plus the Flyers are missing top goaltender Carter Hart. Play on PITTSBURGH
