Pittsburgh is 2-1-0 on the road after a 4-2 victory at Los Angeles, picking up a power play goal and a nifty short-handed one. They fought back from a 0-2 deficit. Winless San Jose is getting outscored 22-13 despite playing only one road game. The defense is the worst in the NHL, allowing 3.78 goals per game, plus 31st in save percentage (.887) and 28th in penalty killing. The offense is also last (2.54 goals per contest). Play Pittsburgh.
