Minus Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin, the Penguins are much more conservative and defensive-minded. Don't be deceived by the Penguins' 6-2 opening win against the Lightning this past Tuesday. That score is misleading due to the high number of empty net goals the Lightning gave up in a futile and classless bid to get back into a game they were going to lose.

The Penguins also might be minus Jake Guentzel, too, because of COVID protocol.

Panthers goalie Sergei Bobrovsky is looking to play much better this season. I believe he will.

The Under has cashed the past six times these teams have met.
