Pittsburgh goes for two wins in a row after a 5-3 victory over Washington on Thursday night when Sidney Crosby scored two power-play goals and Bryan Rust delivered the go-ahead goal in the third period. Aturs Silovs stopped 28 of 31 shots for the Penguins, and he is expected to start today with a 4-2-2 mark and a 2.70 goals-against average this season. Jacob Markstrom is probable for New Jersey, and he is 4-2-0 with a 3.95 GAA and an .871 save percentage. The Devils are 2-7 in their past nine against the Metropolitan Division, and they have lost five of seven against teams that scored at least five goals in their previous game. The Penguins are 8-1-2 versus teams with winning records, and they are 5-1 OVER playing with one day of rest. Pittsburgh is 12-3-1 OVER its past 16 against the Metropolitan Division. Take the Penguins and the OVER.
