Analysis
Pittsburgh's superior home form and current five-game winning streak provide significant advantages in this matchup. The rest advantage is neutral with both teams having two days off, but the Penguins' home ice edge becomes crucial. Recent puck line analysis shows Pittsburgh's ability to win decisively at home, while Ottawa's road defensive struggles suggest vulnerability. The goaltender matchup slightly favors Pittsburgh given their recent defensive improvements during the winning streak. Schedule congestion affects both teams equally, making current form the determining factor in this Eastern Conference battle.
