Pittsburgh Penguins at Boston Bruins (-130, 5.5)

The Pittsburgh Penguins can’t seem to catch a break. After starting the season with an 8-1-0 record, the defending Stanley Cup champions are on a 4-4-0 slide since losing defenseman Sergei Gonchar on Oct. 20.

The Pens could be without five players who totaled 43 percent of their playoff goals last year for Tuesday’s contest against the Bruins. The most recent setback occurred during Saturday’s 5-0 loss to the San Jose Sharks when defenseman Kris Letang suffered an undisclosed injury.

Pittsburgh was outshot 96-77 during its three-game trip through California and committed 33 giveaways.

“Injuries or not, we’ve got to compete, and we’re not doing that – we’ve been outworked,” center Michael Rupp told the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review. “Make no mistake, those guys are great hockey players and important parts of this team – but we’ve still got a pretty good group of guys.”

Boston isn’t doing so well either. The B’s are 1-3 over their last four games and they’ve played below the total in each of their last six games.

Pick: Under


Edmonton Oilers at Ottawa Senators (NA)

The Ottawa Senators are also going through frustrating times. They’ve dropped five of their last seven games and find themselves out of the top eight in the Eastern Conference standings.

Ottawa has to be worried about the way its offseason acquisitions are performing. Johnathan Cheechoo has only two assists while Alex Kovalev has racked up just six points.

But the Senators’ biggest problem is the discrepancy between the amount of power plays they are getting (51) and the number of penalties they are taking (67). Two of their three penalties against the New Jersey Devils on Saturday took place in the offensive zone.

“We’ve got to find a way to stay out of the box, that’s all. Period,” head coach Cory Clouston told the Ottawa Sun. “Whatever it may be. Whether we feel we’re getting the short end of the stick… we’ve got to find a way to stay out of the box.”

The Edmonton Oilers scored four power-play goals Sunday night on their way to a 5-3 win over the Colorado Avalanche. Expect their man advantage to have a similar performance tonight against the Senators.

Pick: Oilers
