It's hard not to like the Penguins with the way their playing right now. Pittsburgh is a stellar 14-7-4 away from home this season and has won three-straight on this road trip. Goalie Stuart Skinner is red-hot, going 6-0-1 with a 1.34 GAA during that span. Vancouver has lost 12 of its last 13 games and is a dismal 5-15-3 at home. Look for the Pens to keep it rolling on Sunday.

It's 12 losses in 13 for the Canucks as first-year HC Adam Foote can't seem to find any answers, and the pressure builds. Not helping that oft-injured goalie Thatcher Demko has been out since January 10, with return date uncertain; Czech Jiri Patera gets his second start of the season in goal tonight after allowing 7 goals to the Panthers in his only previous start back on November 17. Meanwhile things are going just swell for the surging Penguins, looking like a dangerous playoff team on this road trip to the Western Conference with three straight thumping wins by a combined 16-6, with GK Stuart Skinner having a great January (5-1-0, 1.68 GAA, .936 saves; 6-1-0 his last seven starts).
