Pittsburgh is 18-7 on the puck line after defeating Philadelphia 5-1 on Monday. Sidney Crosby scored twice for the Penguins, and Tristan Jarry had 28 saves to improve to 8-2-0. Jarry bounced back nicely after allowing three goals on 13 shots in his previous game against Toronto. Crosby has been the main reason the Penguins are overachieving this season, with 18 goals in 25 games, third in the league. Jarry has a 2.57 goals-against average with one shutout this season. Tampa Bay had its seven-game win streak snapped in a 2-1 loss to the Islanders on Tuesday. The Lightning are playing at home after a three-game trip crammed into five days. Take the Penguins on the puckline.
