The set-up: Montreal and Carey Price looked impressive in their 3-2 win over the Pens in Game 1 of their five-game play-in series, but with their backs against the wall, I believe the Penguins will bounce back in fine fashion in the second game. For me, the value definitely lies with Pittsburgh here, which remains the much deeper offensive team. If the Habs had any shot at stealing this series, Price had to elevate his game and while he did do that in Game 1, he's consistently been inconsistent from game to game throughout his career and I expect that pattern to continue.

The pick: While this line will surely continue to climb before face-off, it did open at right around -150. If Pittsburgh had actually won Game 1, that line would have opened closer to -180 (or possibly higher?!) The value is on the hungrier/more desperate and overall better talented Pens side.

This is an 8* UPPER-SHELF DESTRUCTION on the Pittsburgh Penguins.
