Friday NHL Pick

The 4-2-1 Pittsburgh Penguins will take a 2-game losing streak into Rogers Arena tonight for a matchup with the 1-5-2 Vancouver Canucks. Vancouver finally got in the Win column last night, with a 5-4 win over the upstart Seattle Krakens, so they will be playing back-to-back games which is never easy. Pittsburgh has not played since falling to the Calgary Flames on Tuesday so they will be well-rested and ready to do some damage. The Penguins offense is explosive, averaging 4.3 goals per game, unlike the Canucks who are averaging just 2.9. Pittsburgh has won 4 of the last 5 meetings and should come out on top.
