The Colorado Avalanche and the Pittsburgh Penguins will butt heads once again and this time it will be on the Penguins’ home ice at PPG Paints Arena. The two clubs faced each other on Saturday in Colorado, with the Avs eking it out, 3-2, but this game could have gone either way. Pittsburgh is 4-1 in their last 5 in the second game of a home and home scenario, 7-3 in their last 10 against the Avs at PPG Paints Arena, and the home team is 5-1 in the last 6 meetings. Altitude will not be a factor in this one for Pittsburgh and they match up well with Colorado. It’s hard to go against the best team in hockey but in this case it’s warranted.
TONIGHT’S PICK: PITTSBURGH PENGUINS
