Pick 1: Penguins Moneyline
It seems like Crosby and the Penguins have turned a corner going 4-1SU in their last five games. They've also outscored their opponents 21-12 in those five games.
Over each side's last 10, the Penguins players are creating 3.35 ixG while the Caps are getting 3.02. That goal-creation advantage might not matter if Washington was starting a good goalie, but it seems like Charlie Lindgren might get the start. The former Habs keeper has struggled lately with a 0.905SV% and gut-wrenching 3.29GAA.
I think the Pens will be too much for Washington tonight.
Pick 2: OVER 6 Goals
Since 2020, these two rivals have seen the total go OVER six goals five times in nine meetings (63%). More recently - since March of 2023 - that record against the OVER is 2-1-1.
Pittsburgh has seen the total go OVER six goals in three straight games. Most of those twine-ticklers came off their own sticks with the Pens scoring 61% of the goals. They can score and remember they're likely playing a poor goaltender. This contest should go OVER.
Pick 3: Crosby O0.5 Points
Sid loves playing the Caps. In 70 career games against Washington, the Pens captain has 90 points (1.29 per game). In three contests versus Ovie's squad, this season he's got four points (three goals and one assist).
The future first-ballot Hall of Fame player is on a six-game point streak with 15 points in that stretch. I have no doubt he will push that streak to seven games.
