Last meeting: 12/9/2013 @ Pittsburgh, Pens won 2-1

Doob's take:
Both teams have been playing very well as of late in spite of injuries to key players. Both have been forced to adopt a tight checking, blue collared style of play. I expect both teams to grind it out throughout, but also score some goals. Doob picks the Pens to win 4-3.
