The Penguins, sitting at 8-4-2, are looking to leverage home-ice advantage and their leading scorer, Evgeni Malkin, who's racked up 3 goals and 16 assists this season, providing some serious firepower. Meanwhile, let’s talk about the Capitals! They’re bringing the heat too, with Alex Ovechkin fresh off hitting the milestone of 900 goals! But here’s the kicker: the Penguins have been solid at home with a thought-provoking record against the Capitals.
Now, let’s dive into the numbers: Pittsburgh is well-ranked and they're averaging over three goals per game at home, while their defensive unit has restricted opponents to under three goals per game. For a match-up this heated, a spread of under 6.25 may be GOLD! Grab this while it’s hot!
