Minnesota is off a 4-1 loss at Chicago, and aren't getting it done on offense ranked #17 in goals scored and #26 on the power play. Minnesota is 8-3-3 UNDER the total against the Eastern Conference. They run into a dynamite Pittsburgh defense ranked #4 in goals allowed and second in penalty killing. Sidney Crosby scored a power-play goal 3:41 into overtime, lifting the Penguins over the Canadiens 2-1 on Saturday night. Marc-Andre Fleury made 27 saves. Pittsburgh is 8-2-2 UNDER the total at home and 7-1 UNDER the total playing on two days of rest. The UNDER is 4-1 when these teams meet in Pittsburgh and this shapes up as a defensive battle. This one stays UNDER.
