Pittsburgh Penguins        

The Penguins slide into this evening’s matchup sporting a 10-8-5 record that nets them 25 points on the season. That 25 point tally isn’t doing them any favors in the Metropolitan, seeing as how they currently rank as the 3^rd worst team in the division. Nevertheless, the Guins have a 3-1 record in their last 4 matchups and will be vying to keep those type of results coming. The odds are naturally pegging them as an underdog against Colorado, given how tough the Avalanche have looked this season. Looking over the numbers, it’s clear that Colorado’s high powered offense will pose a problem for Pittsburgh tonight. Seeing as how the Guins rank 20^th in goals allowed while Colorado sports the best scoring offense in the NHL, we can fully expect Pittsburgh to play catch up on the road this evening.

Players to Watch: Evgeni Malkin (9 G, 21 A, 30 PTS.), Phil Kessel (10 G, 18 A, 28 PTS.), and Sidney Crosby (10 G, 15 A, 25 PTS.).

Colorado Avalanche

The Avalanche tumble into this Wednesday night contest sporting a 14-6-4 record that grants them 32 points on the season. That 32 point figure ranks Colorado 2^nd overall in the Central Division. It’s a bit surprising to see Colorado enjoy this type of success seeing as how they barely snuck into the playoffs last season. Notwithstanding that belief, Colorado will be looking to deliver a dominant outing against Pittsburgh to prove that they are in fact the real deal. Colorado is 5-3-2  in their last 10 against Pittsburgh so there’s no guarantee they get the job done tonight.

Players to Watch: Mikko Rantanen (10 G, 30 A, 40 PTS.), Nathan MacKinnon (17 G, 20 A, 37 PTS.), and Gabriel Landeskog (14 G, 12 A, 26 PTS.).
