Premium Picks
Pittsburgh at New Jersey
New Jersey won the only meeting this season 5-2 on Nov. 16, but the Devils have had trouble scoring lately and they have lost seven of nine, including their past two games. Fatigue also could be a factor as the Devils just completed a four-game trip in a seven-day period and lost three of them and they have scored more than two goals once in five games. Jake Allen is probable for the Devils and he is 7-13-3 with a 3.50 goals-against average this season. Pittsburgh comes off a 6-3 win over Detroit on Sunday when four different skaters each had a goal and an assist and Alex Nedeljkovic had 25 saves. Tristan Jarry is likely tonight with a 2.79 goals-against average. New Jersey is 1-5 playing with one day of rest and 1-4 against a team that scored at least five goals its previous game. Take the Penguins as a Max Play.
