T.M. Selection: Pittsburgh Penguins -1.5

I like the Pittsburgh Penguins to win this game against the Arizona Coyotes on Thursday. It will be the opening game of the year for both of these two sides and I believe that the home team will own the advantage in this one. The Penguins ended off their preseason with a huge 7-1 win against the Buffalo Sabres on Friday. Goaltender Tristan Jarry played very well and the top guys from this extremely talented team looked ready for the season opener. For the Coyotes, they have been a team that hasn't performed too well the past few years. They were just 25-50-7 last season and ended up with just 57 points. Not to mention they were 0-7 this preseason. I expect the Penguins to be all over them from the opening face-off on Thursday. Ride the big favorite on the puck-line in this one.

T.M. Prediction: 5-2 Pens.
