If this was 5 years ago, this would have been a marquee of a matchup, but nevertheless, Marc-Andre Fleury is expected to take on his former team on Tuesday night as the woeful Chicago Blackhawks play host to the Pittsburgh Penguins.

 

Last year’s Vezina Trophy winner Marc-Andre Fleury has gotten off to a horrible start with Chicago, owning a 1-7-0 record with a dreadful .881 save percentage. With this Blackhawks team in front of him, I don’t expect that number to improve drastically any time soon.

 

One player I do like on the Blackhawks, however, is Patty Kane. Kane has 12 points in nine games so far this season and he will continue to be Chicago’s go-to option on Tuesday night.

 

The Penguins will once again be without Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby, but they do have Kris Letang logging almost 30 minutes a night — and producing like he’s 25 again.

 

So here are my picks:

 

·      Pittsburgh to cover the spread -1.5 (+170)

·      Over 3.5 Patrick Kane Shots (+110)

·      Over 0.5 Kris Letang Powerplay points (+265)
