Pittsburgh is in terrible shape right now, over the last 5 games the Pens have scored only 1 point, conceding 22 pucks. But any series in the NHL comes to an end, so Pittsburgh should not be underestimated today, as the players are clearly angry because of the recent failures and play more aggressively.
Minnesota has shown great results in recent games, scoring 8 points in 5 games, the team interrupted its winning streak only in the last game, losing in an incredible struggle to Philadelphia with a score of 7:5.
Everything says that we should expect a lot of pucks tonight. Pittsburgh has nothing to lose, they have to play aggressive and take a lot of risks today, but the defensive play still leaves a lot to be desired, and Minnesota is scoring a lot this season.
Prediction: at least 7 goals to be scored. We recommend the "Over 6.5" bet, odds 2.18
