Blues vs Penguins Prediction

The Penguins have been able to win games here and there lately, but it’s too little, too late. The Penguins have been underwhelming all year, and they’re on the road this time out, where they’ve lost 20 games. The Blues are the hottest team in the league, not losing a game in three weeks and positioning themselves nicely into a playoff spot. The Blues have allowed two or fewer goals in nine of their last 10 games.

I’m not trying to step in front of the Blues right now, and I’m certainly not doing it for a team like the Penguins. Give me the Blues and the PL for max betting value.
