ROGERS' 10* TOTAL 'COACH'S CORNER!' > > THE BIG ONE!
(NHL) Pittsburgh vs. Toronto,
Total: 6.50 | -105.00 Over
Result: Win
Total: 6.50 | -105.00 Over
Result: Win
The set-up: This is the second game of a home and home set. The Pens won the last one 5-2, but I expect more of a defensive affair this time around. Note that goaltender Tristin Jarry has been remarkable for Pittsburgh since winning the starting job and also note that the Pens are ranked 11th in goals allowed per game while on the road. The Leafs normally like to put the offensive pressure onto other clubs, but after falling in Pittsburgh last time out, I think the home side is going to double down on the defensive end.
The pick: I'll point out as well that Pittsburgh has seen the total go under the number in six of its last eight after a three-game unbeaten streakl while Toronto has seen the total dip below the posted number in three of its last four after playing three straight on the road. Expect this one to sneak under once it's all said and done.
