The Pittsburgh Penguins are on a roll, winning three of their last four while the New Jersey Devils are in a slump coming off four consecutive losses, losing six of their last seven. I think the the home teams offense will prove too much to handle for the visitors here.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. The Penguins Offense - Only the Lightning have a better goal per game average than the Penguins this season, as they're scored close to 3.5 goals per game. The Devils are conceding more than 2.80 goals per game with Cory Schneider allowing eight over his last three.

2. Recent Meetings - The Pens defeated the Devils 8-3 at CONSOL Energy Center on Oct 28th. They've now won five of the last six meetings in Pittsburgh.

3. X-Factor - The Pens forward Evegni Malkin is tied with the Red Wings Gustav Nyquist for most power play goals for the season at seven goals on the man advantage. He has had five goals over his last five games and is likely to get on the scoresheet tonight as well.

Selection: This is a play on the Pittsburgh Penguins -1.5 (10*)
