5* NHL ICEMAN Game of the Week
(NHL) Pittsburgh vs. Winnipeg,
Money Line: -127.00 Pittsburgh (Away)
Result: Win
I like the Pittsburgh Penguins tonight as a solid choice. This line is way out of whack. Pitt is 9-2 after a loss by 2 goals or more and clearly the more talented team in every aspect. The Penguins are the more talented team in every aspect and this team does a great job after non-efforts. Given their dominance over the Jets and their previous incarnation as the Atlanta Thrashers, Pittsburgh would appear to have a strong chance to keep it simple. The Penguins have won 18 of the last 21 matchups and took a 6-5 win in the only other meeting this season with the now-Western Conference club on Jan. 5th. The Jets are also returning home from a long road trip which included five very physical games against five winning teams out West.
