Pittsburgh has shown impressive offensive performance at the start of the season. The team has scored 21 goals in its last five games, regularly exceeding the five-goal total. The Penguins have looked particularly formidable at home, with their powerful attack confidently capitalizing on opportunities.
St. Louis has struggled defensively, allowing 25 goals in its last five games. The Blues remain a dangerous team offensively, capable of scoring, but lacking defensive consistency.
Given Pittsburgh's scoring record and St. Louis' defensive woes, a high-scoring game is likely. Recent head-to-head encounters have also featured high-scoring goals.
