Minnesota at Pittsburgh

Two teams going in different directions meet tonight as Pittsburgh has won seven of its last nine while Minnesota has lost five of six, including its last three. The Penguins just completed a 3-0 trip to Vegas, Colorado and Arizona and as a bonus could get Sidney Crosby back tonight after missing 28 games due to sports hernia surgery. Pittsburgh has weathered injuries all season and is only six points behind first-place Washington in the Metropolitan Division. Goalie Matt Murray is 13-6-4 with a 2.91 goals-against average and he has won his last three starts and is probable tonight. Devan Dubnyk is 8-11-2 with a 3.16 GAA for the Wild. The Penguins are 44-19 their last 63 versus the Western Conference and 137-64 their last 201 home games. Take the Penguins.
