Analysis
The rest advantage heavily favors Pittsburgh in this puck line analysis. Chicago's critical fatigue risk after playing yesterday creates a significant disadvantage against a fresh Penguins team. Pittsburgh's superior offensive depth (3.31 goals per game) should exploit Chicago's tired defensive coverage. The Blackhawks have allowed 3+ goals in seven of their last ten games, while Pittsburgh has scored 4+ goals in four of their last five victories. Home ice advantage becomes amplified when the visiting team faces back-to-back games. Chicago's goaltending typically struggles on zero rest, making the over total attractive despite defensive concerns.
