NHL Betting Preview
Minnesota Wild (10-4-1) at Pittsburgh Penguins (11-4-2)
Tuesday, 7:05 pm Eastern

SBG Global Opening Line:
Penguins -145, Total 5.5 Under -130

A great interconference NHL betting matchup is set for Tuesday night as the Pittsburgh Penguins play host to the Minnesota Wild. The Wild have had a lot of success recently against Pittsburgh including three straight wins at Mellon Arena. The Penguins could have a chance to break that streak on Tuesday if they continue their offensive success. They have scored 32 goals in their last six games. Evgeni Malkin has six goals and 21 assists during that time including four assists in Saturday's 5-2 win over Buffalo. He leads the NHL with 23 assists and 30 points. "I think he knows how good he is," Penguins coach Michel Therrien said. "He has a lot of confidence." It sure helps Malkin that he plays with superstar Sidney Crosby who has three goals and three assists in the past three games. One problem for Pittsburgh on Tuesday will be the absence of top goalie Marc-Andre Fleury who is injured. "It's not a major injury," Therrien said Monday. "We just don't want to take a risk." SBG Global reports that early Hockey betting has the public taking Penguins at Home.
