The Pittsburgh Penguins have been haunted by bad luck for the last 2 years, the team is not in the playoffs. Although the Penguins still have a mathematical chance to win the Stanley Cup, as they are 9 points behind Washington.
Columbus, on the other hand, has no playoff chances for a long time, the team is once again a major NHL outsider, having scored just 58 points in 72 games. The form of Columbus also leaves much to be desired - 5 defeats in a row.
The last face-to-face meetings ended in Pittsburgh victories, today the hosts also look more favourable.
Prediction: Pittsburgh to win. We recommend the “Match Winner 1” bet, odds 1.49
