Pittsburgh comes off a 4-3 win over Montreal and is 8-5-4 on the road. That ended an eight-game skid, with four of the losses by one goal in overtime or shootouts. The offense is third in the NHL on the power play. Toronto got outscored 14-4 during a winless three-game road trip, part of a 2-6 slide. The offense is last on the power play, while the defense is 25th in goals given up (3.34 per game) and 15th in save percentage. To say this team misses Mitch Marner's presence is an understatement, but the lack of passion during some of their recent losses has been questionable. The wagering value is on the visitors to win the game or lose by one goal. Play Pittsburgh on the puck line.
