This is a 6* BIG-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Pittsburgh Penguins.

REASONING: No need to overthink this one too much, while Minnesota will surely be fired up here in facing the defending champs, it comes to town off two straight losses in which its offense has stalled. The Pens will look to take advantage, they have nothing to "look ahead" too, with a game against Toronto at home on Saturday. But from an ATS trend based stand point, they simply don't get much better than this as Minnesota is just 23-25 (-4 units) after scoring one goal or less in its previous game, while Pittsburgh is already 3-1 (+2 units) in non-conference games. Lay the price, play on the PENGUINS.
