This is an 8* SITUATIONAL TOTAL on the UNDER Sens/Pens.

Pittsburgh has lost three of its last four. It's been involved in two straight OT games, most recently falling 5-4 in Canada's capital just two night ago.

Now back at home, note that the Pens have in fact seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of their last 11 in trying to avenge a road loss agaisnt an opponent.

The Senators return home for a game against the Jets, and I think they'll be caught looking ahead to that one, trying to preserve some "gas" for the second outing of the back-to-back scenario.

All sigs point to this being a very defensive UNDER.

Good luck, NP
