Pittsburgh Penguins at Ottawa Senators (-117, 5.5)

Since getting Evgeni Malkin back from injury, the Penguins' offense has gone from comatose to caffeinated.

In the last two games, the defending Stanley Cup champs have scored 11 goals after tallying only three over the team’s four-game skid last week.

Malkin assisted on three goals in Saturday’s win over the Boston Bruins but was held pointless in Monday’s 5-2 win over the Anaheim Ducks. But just having last season’s Conn Smythe winner on the ice wears down an opponents’ top blueline pairing, leaving the door open for Pittsburgh’s other forwards to capitalize.

Veteran Bill Guerin has done just that, scoring in each of the Penguins’ back-to-back wins. Guerin also netted the team’s first power-play goal in eight games.

"We still definitely have some work (on the power play), but it was good to finally get one," Guerin told the media.

Pick: Pittsburgh +108



New Jersey Devils at Nashville Predators (+103, 5.0)

Nashville kept its streak rolling with a huge win over the San Jose Sharks on Tuesday night, claiming the team’s third straight victory and seventh in 10 games.

The Predators scored two of their four goals against the Sharks on the power play, giving them three of their last six goals with a man up. They’ve netted eight power-play goals in their last 11 games and improved to 8-0 when scoring on the power play this season.

"The guys are very instinctive out there, so there's less of a thought process, which means there are quicker plays being made," said Steve Sullivan, who scored on the man advantage Tuesday.

Nashville and New Jersey have split their last four meetings going back to 2004. The Devils are coming off a loss to the Philadelphia Flyers and have allowed a power-play goal in each of their last two games.

Pick: Nashville +103
