The Penguins had a great game on Saturday against the Maple Leafs and now they will face the Avalanche in a series of 4 straight home wins that they will try to continue at PPG Paints Arena. Even with a negative record of 12-13-4 and seventh in the metropolitan conference, the Penguins have managed to win several games decided by one goal, where this season they have a record of 5-1-2.

However, on Tuesday they will face a tough Avalanche team that is a good visitor with a record of 9-6. Despite Colorado being the 12th team with the most goals per game in the NHL, curiously in the first third of the games they do not manage to average a goal with 0.87. So far this season, the Avalanche and Penguins have not faced each other, although the home team won the last two games against each other.

The Penguins' Sidney Cosby with 8 goals and 19 assists is the man of the moment for them while Mikko Rantanen has 15 goals for Colorado. Both teams have been regulars this season in having their games result in Game Total Overs, having done so more than 15 times each season.

Our Pittsburgh Penguins vs Colorado Avalanche Prediction

The Avalanche's multi-faceted offense coupled with the Penguins' hot streak in Pittsburgh, which saw them beat the Maple Leafs in a surprise result last Saturday, may lead one to believe that Tuesday's game could be a game that looks like it could top the 6.5 total game goals booked for this game. Jarry had a good night against Toronto but still doesn't quite reach a 900 SV%. Our prediction for Penguins vs Avalanche is: Over 6.5 goals.

Prediction:
