The Pittsburgh Penguins will face the Philadelphia Flyers in a battle of Metropolitan Division rivals Tuesday night. The Penguins have enjoyed one of the best starts of the year, going 7-3, a record that included a four-game win streak. However, their losses have come against teams of similar caliber to the Flyers, with defeats against the Anaheim Ducks and Columbus Blue Jackets indicating a hole in Pittsburgh's armor. Meanwhile, the Flyers have gotten off to a mediocre start, going 4-4 to begin the season. One loss came in overtime, softening the blow a bit.
The highlight of Pittsburgh's young season has been the offense. Evgeny Malkin and Sidney Crosby have combined to contribute a whopping 25 points in 10 games. Justin Brazeau and Rickard Rakell have also been huge in facilitating scoring, putting up a combined 17 points. Arturs Silovs and Tristan Jarry have shared time in the goal, with Silovs starting six of 11 contests. Both have been elite, rounding out a team that seems to be one of the early frontrunners for Stanley Cup contention.
To put in perspective just how good the top of the Penguins roster has been, a quick comparison with Philadelphia's lineup is in order. The biggest scoring contributors for the Flyers are Sean Couturier and Trevor Zegras, both of whom have eight points. Noah Cates and Tyson Foerster are next up, each with six points. Pittsburgh clearly has more top-end players on the roster, and that should show in Tuesday night's matchup.

Penguins vs Flyers Prediction and Pick
The editorial staff of Scores and Stats writes: "The matchup leans toward Pittsburgh in terms of game flow, even though the market opened with St. Louis as the favorite. The Blues have not held a defensive structure for a full 60 minutes, and without a high-end puck distributor, they rely on winning off rushes instead of sustained pressure. Pittsburgh is less explosive without Rakell, but they are more stable, and stability wins low-event games. ... The total also profiles toward the under if Pittsburgh dictates pace through defensive layers instead of trading scoring windows. This is the same game state that frequently shows up in similar physical-low-total matchups inside the NHL previews hub, where shot quality matters more than volume. Best Bet: Penguins +1.5".
