Rating: 10/10*
The Pittsburgh Penguins are coming off a 4-3 OT win against Winnipeg last night, but they're just 12-10-3 on the road this season. This contest will mark the Pens' third game in four nights, so I think they'll struggle to bring the intensity necessary to beat the Columbus Blue Jackets who are a solid 20-8-1 home at Nationwide Arena on the season and 10-2 in their last 12 home games vs. a team with a losing road record. We can also note that Columbus has won four of the last five head-to-head meetings when holding home ice advantage, and the Blue Jackets are 10-1 in their last 11 Friday night games.
