I like Penguins ML because Pittsburgh gets a larger share of the five-on-five shot attempts against a San Jose team struggling to score.
Through 18 games this season, Pittsburgh has taken 52.7% of the shot attempts at five-on-five, seventh in the NHL. San Jose is at 46.9% through 20 games, 27th.
The Sharks have averaged 2.55 goals per game through 20 games, 30th in the league.
Pittsburgh's projected top line has Sidney Crosby between Evgeni Malkin and Rickard Rakell. Crosby has 6 goals and 4 assists in his past 7 road games.
