Quietly and below the radar, Pittsburgh has gone 13-3-2 since Christmas. The Penguins have a league-best plus-15 goal differential since January 19, excelling on the road, winning seven of their last eight away games, including the past four. Pittsburgh is 15-7-4 overall on the road this season. The Penguins are worth riding against the Islanders. New York has lost its last two games, falling 4-1 to the Capitals in a lackluster performance on Monday and 4-3 to the Predators at home this past Saturday. New York is 24th in scoring and averaging two goals per game in its last three games. Sidney Crosby has been dominant against the Islanders, recording 139 points in 91 career games. That is the most points an active player has scored against one team. Egor Chinakhov has chipped in with 10 points in 16 games since making his Penguins debut in January. Take the Penguins.
