The Pittsburgh Penguins and Calgary Flames headline this Tuesday's slate.
Both the Penguins and Flames enter play 4 - 1. As the premier team in the East, it's no surprise that Pittsburgh has opened the season with such a fantastic record. They have been a top team for quite some time now. They are like a bad habit when it comes to the Eastern Conference; they just never go away.
The Flames have shocked the league with their performances this season. They have lost two of their best players in the past two years. The loss of Johnny Hockey was devastating, and many thought it would take them a few years to recover from that, but they may be even better without him.

Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Calgary Flames Best Picks
Per usual, Sidney Crosby is carrying this Pittsburgh organization; he leads the team in assists, goals, and, of course, points. He is averaging almost two points per game. With a streak like that in play, bettors cannot afford to not ride with him.
Sidney Crosby Over 1.5 Points (+159)
Rickard Rakell has also been phenomenal for the Penguins this season. He is right behind Crosby with three goals. Acquiring him from Anaheim was one of Pittsburgh's best moves in quite some time. He fits beautifully on that first line with Crosby and Jake Guentzel. They will continue to shine this season. A point for Rakell is another excellent move for bettors today.
Rickard Rakell Over 0.5 Points (-119)

Pittsburgh Penguins vs. Calgary Flames Prediction
The Penguins have a tall order of playing on the road in back-to-back games. Luckily, both games are in Alberta. Pittsburgh took a 3 - 1 lead early in their game last night, but after a brutal tilt, they ended up losing 6 - 3. It is a tough loss to swallow; as a result, bettors can expect the "Pens" to be playing with some vengeance tonight. Given that they are an underdog, this is a great play. Expect an upset tonight.
Pittsburgh (+152)
