The set-up: With a game at Washington on Wednesday and off three straight losses, including a humbling 5-0 loss to the Leafs on Saturday night, it's going to be all hands on deck for the home side tonight. New Jersey on the other hand is 0-4-0 on the road and it comes in off three straight losses itself. But with a tough game tomorrow night in Ottawa, I think the visitors also get caught "looking ahead" to that difficult contest.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Pittsburgh is 7-2 in its last nine home games following a three games or more unbeaten streak. Lay the price, expect a rout.
