The Pittsburgh Penguins host the Minnesota Wild on Tuesday night, putting their six game winning streak on the line.  The Penguins have not lost since October 30^th, a 4-1 loss on the road against the Phoenix Coyotes.  Minnesota has won two in a row, and is putting the red hot Penguins on upset watch tonight.  Pittsburgh is winning 56.5 percent of AccuScore simulations, but the average score is being decided by less than half a goal, with a close win occurring for either team in 49.9 percent of simulations.

Dany Sabourin will take the net for the Penguins tonight in place of the injured Marc-Andre Fleury.  Sabourin is stopping 23 of 26 shots against Minnesota tonight.  Sidney Crosby, Miroslav Satan, and Max Talbot are combining for a goal in 86 percent of simulations tonight.  Evgeni Malkin, Petr Sykora, and Ruslan Fedotenko are combining for a goal in every simulation tonight, with Malkin scoring a goal in half of simulations.

Mikko Koivu, Brent Burns, and Andrew Brunette are combining to score a goal in 58 percent of simulations tonight, with Brunette having the best chance of scoring a goal.  Owen Nolan, Eric Belanger, and Pierre-Marc Bouchard are combining for a goal in 46 percent of simulations.  Niklas Backstrom is keeping pace with Sabourin, stopping 25 of 28 shots against the Penguins.
