When betting on the Pens you have to look for motivation, they are clearly a team with enough talent to score 10 a night if so motivated, they are also a team that can go through the motions and get smoked by Montreal on any given night.
Fairly listless to start the season they went into Toronto and made a statement with Murray throwing a shutout against the league's highest scoring team.
Statement made in Edmonton the following game that while Connor McDavid may be the next big thing, it's still Sid's league until further notice. Sid scores twice including a career highlight goal in OT.
With top players in form they go on to smoke Calgary and Vancouver by a combined 14-1 score.
Motivation, when the Pens have it you bet on them, when they don't you can safely go the other way.
The organization has been clear that they are standing strong with the city in the aftermath of the awful events at the Tree Of Life this past Saturday. They've changed "Halloween Theme" night tonight to a collection night for the victims and community. The Pens are clear, they are part of this community first and foremost.
I see a big effort from the boys tonight against a team that is completely outmatched anyway. Sucks for the Islanders that they draw this spot as they will have little to combat a motivated Pens team.
The islanders likely know what they are in for and will try to combat energy with energy which will lead to an up and down the ice game. That's a game you don't want to play against the firepower the Pens have.
OVER 6.5 -105
Pens -1.5 +130
6-2 Pens with it going over the total early.
