Pittsburgh has star Sidney Crosby back, riding a 12-3 run. The offense is sixth in the NHL in goals scored, while the defense is seventh in goals surrendered, fourth in shots on goal allowed, #11 in save percentage. Boston is favored but on a 7-13 run, losing 11 times as chalk. Star goalie Tuukka Rask is out with a concussion when he took an elbow to the head in Tuesday's 3-0 loss at Columbus as a -145 favorite. Pittsburgh has won eight in a row against winning teams and the Penguins are 35-17 playing on one day of rest. Take Pittsburgh.
