How valuable is experience in the Stanley Cup Final? The Pittsburgh
Penguins have it, and they took advantage of the San Jose Sharks Monday
night, grabbing an early 1-0 lead in their series by beating San Jose
3-2 as –130 home favourites. Game 2 takes place Wednesday night in
Pittsburgh at 8 PM ET on CBC and NBCSN. Sidney Crosby has been working
tirelessly, as the leader he is, with the younger players on the Pens
and it is clearly paying off. Oddsmakers have the Pens as a -130
favorite on the moneyline while the Under 5.5 is -140.

The Penguins, who won their third Stanley Cup in 2009, came into this
series as –120 title favourites over San Jose, who brushed aside their
long history of playoff futility to make their first-ever Final. Even
after Monday's loss, the Sharks still have the best goal differential
during this postseason at 1.11 goals per game, and the most profit
against the puck line at +7.65 betting units on a record of 12-7 ATS.



But it was Pittsburgh (9-10 ATS, +5.22 units) that drew first blood in
Game 1. After coughing up an early two-goal lead, the Penguins scored
the winner late in the third period when Nick Bonino scored his fourth
of the playoffs. However, the Pens did lose Bryan Rust to an “upper-body
injury” after he was checked in the head by Patrick Marleau. Rust is
considered day-to-day for now.
