Result:
WIN

The Pittsburgh Penguins are now one series away from returning to the Stanley Cup Finals, and open the series at home vs. Carolina. Pittsburgh opened their series at 0-2 with the Caps, but ran off four of five to take the series. The Hurricane's jumped up 3-1 vs. the Bruins, and needed OT in game seven to pull out the series win. Carolina allowed 10 goals in the last three of that series - a far cry from the 11 they allowed in the previous seven playoff games. That is a sign of trouble as the Penguins’ offense is really in attack mode and has scored 32 in their last eight playoff games, or four per game. The Penguins are very tough at home where they have been 57-19 in their last 76 as a home-ice favorite and 25-7 within the range of this moneyline offering. They are also 16-5 in their last 21 as a playoff favorite, so I will back them here in game one.
