Dallas is going well and knows how to win on the road. But this matchup sets up very well for Pittsburgh.

The Penguins are playing well, too, with three consecutive victories. They draw the Stars playing their fourth consecutive road game before returning home for their next game on Saturday.

Dallas has lost in six of its last seven visits to Pittsburgh. The Penguins have revenge for an opening night 3-0 loss to the Stars. Pittsburgh plays six of its next seven on the road so I'm expecting a strong effort from the Penguins against a road weary foe.

Sidney Crosby finally got going in the Penguins' last game. Crosby has lit up the Stars for seven goals and two assists in four career home games against them. The Penguins have been averaging 33.7 shots on goal.
