Bet Under 5 1/2
The fact that the total has gone UNDER in 5 of these teams last 6 meetings, as well as 6 of their last 7 in Pittsburgh makes me lean towards this one being under as well. When you throw in the fact that Pittsburgh is the worst team in the NHL in power play scoring, and second-best at penalty killing, i'm all but convinced that this will be a low scoring battle.
