NHL Preseason/Monday's Picks

The Pittsburgh Penguins open their NHL preseason tonight at home as they face the Columbus Blue Jackets. Game time is 7:00 pm ET at PPG Paints Arena.

The Penguins are coming off a season in which they were tied with the Washington Capitals for the most points (77) in the East Division, but fell to the NY Islanders in the postseason after leading 2 games to 1.

The Blue Jackets had a disappointing 2020-21 season as they were tied with the Detroit Red Wings for the fewest points (48) in the Central Division.

Dunkel has the Penguins opening with a victory tonight at home with the final score just under the Vegas total of 5 ½.

Dunkel’s Pick: Pittsburgh (-150); Under
