Stephen Nover's NHL Wednesday Top Ticket
(NHL) Pittsburgh vs. Anaheim, 01/17/2018 5:00 PM, Score: 3 - 5
Money Line: 110.00 Pittsburgh (Away)
Result: Loss
The two-time defending Stanley Cup champion Penguins are getting hot winning four in a row. I'm going to ride them here against the Ducks, who have lost three of their last four.

The Penguins are averaging four goals per game during their last six games. They have been getting excellent goaltending from backup Tristan Jarry, too. Jarry has a .928 save percentage in his last four starts. He could get the start here if starter Matt Murray, who made the trip to California, can't go.

Pittsburgh has revenge for a 4-0 home loss suffered to Anaheim a litte more than three weeks ago. That was just the second time in the last nine meetings the Ducks have defeated the Penguins. Pittsburgh is 9-3 the past 12 times when playing on two days rest.

The Ducks are a cripple shooting type of team going 4-13 the past 17 times when facing an opponent with a winning record. Anaheim goalie John Gibson hasn't been that sharp at home either.
