It looks like rookie Sidney Crosby will be sitting this one out and that's going to make it very difficult on Pitt. He's the Penguins' leading scorer. Tampa is just below .500 but Pittsburgh is only 2-9 this season vs. losing teams. Pittsburgh's power play defense is bad, as is their overall defense. Tampa has picked up their offense as of late. Home teams playing 8 or more games in 14 days are 26-12 over the last five season in November games. Take Tampa here for one star.
