New Jersey is on quite a roll, thanks to their defense. Despite scoring 2.4 goals per game over their last five games, they have gone 4-1, holding four of those opponents to under 3 goals each. But Pittsburgh can score. They have scored 5+ goals in five of their last eight games. They average 3.5 per game on the season and 3.9 vs. division opponents! So this is a matchup of strength on strength and in those, we side towards the home team. Pittsburgh is 15-8 this season versus division opponents and 17-7 in the second half of the season.
