The New York Rangers host the Penguins tonight, with the under the right play in this NHL contest.

Pittsburgh goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury has been spectacular in goal in the first two games allowing just two goals and posting a spectacular 0.970 save percentage. His teammates have just had 34 shots on goal in the first two games, not amounting to a lot of offensive pressure which is a bit alarming considering both games were at home.

The Penguins' powerplay is 0-for-8 and their penalty killing is a perfect 12-for-12. The Rangers are just 1-for-17 on the powerplay in their first 3 games. The Blue Shirts have killed off 19 of the 22 short-handed situations they have dealt with in the first three games. The Rangers are 10-26-1 under the total in their last 37 games dating back to last year when they are installed as a home favorite.

Ever since the advent of the new rule changes in 2005. Any NHL away underdog, off of a home underdog shutout loss is 2-9-1 under the total.

I feel the over is the way to play this game myself.

Penguins and under don't seem to belong in the same sentence. I have M.A. Fleury active in my fantasy draft for tonight though.

I am passing on the total and am taking Pit +205 in reg time.
