Pittsburgh Penguins at New York Rangers (-125, 5.5)

With six goals in his last three games - and coming off his second career hat trick - Sidney Crosby and the Penguins will try to put an end to their recent struggles at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday when they meet the Atlantic Division-leading New York Rangers.

Evgeni Malkin leads the NHL with 39 points and he's produced at least one in all but two of Pittsburgh's 23 games. Crosby, who led the league with 120 points in 2006-07 and was second in points per game (1.36) last season, had 16 through 14 games to start 2008-09, but he'd only scored three goals.

Over his last nine games, however, Crosby has caught fire. He has 10 goals and eight assists as the Penguins (14-6-3) have gone 6-2-1, and he's coming off one of the best games of his career. Crosby had his second NHL hat trick - his first at home - and added an assist in Pittsburgh's 4-1 win over New Jersey on Saturday.

"We try to make some plays the other teams don't expect," Crosby said of his part-time linemate. "It's hard to focus on one of us when both of us are out there, so, hopefully, we create some space for each other."

The Penguins have lost six straight at MSG and are 2-7-3 in their last 12 games there, including a 3-2 shootout loss on Oct. 25.

It should be no surprise if Pittsburgh and New York end up in another shootout. The Penguins have played in five, going 3-2, while the Rangers have seen seven games end that way, going an impressive 6-1.

New York won a pair of shootouts during a two-game trip to Florida last week, topping the Tampa Bay Lightning 3-2 on Wednesday and the Florida Panthers 4-3 on Friday. The Rangers, though, couldn't muster any offense Sunday when they completed a home-and-home series against the Panthers and were shut out for the first time this season, 4-0.

Henrik Lundqvist, who leads the Eastern Conference with 15 wins, was pulled after Florida's third goal. He's allowed at least three goals in three of his last five starts after not giving up more than two in his previous 12 games.

Pick: Penguins



Anaheim Ducks at Chicago Blackhawks (-140, 5.5)

The Ducks' Jonas Hiller could again be in net Wednesday as Anaheim (14-9-3) takes on the Blackhawks at the United Center.

Hiller has appeared in three straight games as No. 1 goalie Jean-Sebastien Giguere left for his native Montreal last week on a personal matter, then had to depart Monday's game in Detroit due to groin cramps.

Hiller has gone 2-1-1 with a 0.87 goals-against average in that span. He earned his second shutout in four starts with a 1-0 victory over the Blackhawks on Friday and followed it up with a 4-1 win at Carolina on Sunday.

Strengthening Hiller's chances of starting Wednesday is his career record against Chicago. Last week's shutout improved him to 3-0-0 with a 1.33 GAA versus the Blackhawks. Giguere, though, is 9-2-0 with a 2.29 GAA in his last 11 starts against Chicago.

While the Ducks, 4-1-0 in their last five, have been able to count on Hiller, the Blackhawks haven't gotten similarly dependable play out of their backup goalie. With Nikolai Khabibulin out indefinitely with an undisclosed lower-body injury, the Blackhawks (10-6-6) will have to again go with slumping Cristobal Huet as they try to break a three-game losing streak.

Huet came in when Khabibulin was injured in the second period Nov. 26 at San Jose, and he's gone 0-2-1 with a 3.01 GAA since, pushing his losing streak to four games.

Patrick Kane, who leads the Blackhawks with 28 points, recorded a goal and an assist Saturday and has a point in 16 of 22 games this season. Some of Chicago's other key offensive players, however, haven't been nearly as productive.

Jonathan Toews, who finished second to Kane in last season's Calder Trophy voting, hasn't recorded a point in three of his last four games and has no goals in seven of eight. Kris Versteeg and Martin Havlat have each gone pointless in their last three contests.

Anaheim has won 13 of the last 15 meetings with Chicago and six of seven at the United Center.

Pick: Ducks

Los Angeles Lakers at Philadelphia 76ers [7 PM ET]

Lakers (-7, O/U 200): The Lakers saw their seven-game winning streak end with a stunning 118-117 loss at Indiana on Tuesday. LA eclipsed the century mark for the eighth consecutive game against the Pacers but allowed a season high in points, including 32 in the fourth quarter. Kobe Bryant scored 28 points in the loss. It could be more tough sledding for Lakers backers tonight, as they are just 1-4 ATS in the last 5 meetings in Philadelphia.

Lakers are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games playing on zero days rest.
Lakers are 1-7 ATS in their last 8 vs. Atlantic Division.

Key Injuries - C Chris Mihm (ankle) is questionable.

PROJECTED SCORE: 105 (Side Play of the Day)

76ers: The 76ers ended a four-game losing streak with a 103-95 road win in overtime at Chicago on Tuesday night. The Sixers had a team meeting during Saturday’s practice, which came after a 24-point loss to the Celtics in Boston. They decided they had to defend to win. The Sixers’ steals are down from a year ago, which is producing fewer fast-break opportunities and more half-court opportunities that the Sixers aren’t converting. The new defensive mindset worked on Tuesday, as Philly held the Bulls to 95 points, including just 88 in regulation.

Home team is 5-1 ATS in the last 6 meetings.
76ers are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 Wednesday games.

Key Injuries - F Reggie Evans (personal) is questionable

PROJECTED SCORE: 95

Indiana at #17 Wake Forest [ESPN | 7:15 PM ET]

Indiana: It’s been a tough start to the season for the Hoosiers, who were blasted by both Notre Dame and St. Joseph's and beat tiny Chaminade by only two points. Indiana did rebound with a 15-point triumph over Cornell in its last game. Freshman power forward Tom Pritchard has led the way in the early going. Pritchard’s 23-point effort against Cornell marked the fourth time in the first six games that he led the Hoosiers in scoring. He also paced IU in rebounding four times in the opening six games.

Indiana is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games overall.
Indiana is 0-4 ATS in its last 4 road games.

Key Injuries - G Verdell Jones (head) is OUT.

PROJECTED SCORE: 58 (UNDER - Total Play of the Day)

Wake Forest (-23.5, O/U 147): Wake Forest won the Classic 76 Tournament with an impressive win over Baylor in the finals. The Demon Deacons are shooting better than 50% from the field by pounding the ball inside to the likes of 7-foot junior Chas McFarland, 6-9 James Johnson, and 6-9 freshman Al-Farouq Aminu. However, except for sophomore Jeff Teague, the Deacons struggle from three-point range.

WF is 3-7 ATS in its last 10 games overall.
The OVER is 5-2 in WF’s last 7 vs. Big Ten.

Key Injuries - NONE

PROJECTED SCORE: 82



#1 North Carolina vs. #12 Michigan State at Ford Field [ESPN | 9:15 PM ET]

North Carolina (-9.5, O/U 166): After demolishing Notre Dame on a neutral court, the Tar Heels travel to Detroit for another big test against Michigan State. With Marcus Ginyard injured, Danny Green moved into the starting lineup and caught fire on the Heels’ trip to Hawaii for the Maui Invitational. Green scored 58 points in the Heels’ victories over Chaminade, Oregon and Notre Dame in the Maui Classic. Tyler Hansbrough missed the first couple of games with a stress condition in his right leg but will likely start tonight against the Spartans.

UNC is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 vs. Big Ten.
UNC is 7-3 ATS in its last 10 games overall.

Key Injuries - G Marcus Ginyard (foot) is OUT

PROJECTED SCORE: 88

Michigan State: After a lopsided loss to Maryland, Michigan State bounced back with easy wins over Oklahoma State and Wichita State. Goran Suton, the Big Ten’s No. 1 returning rebounder, has missed three games with a knee injury and probably won’t be on the floor tonight. That could be a big problem against the Tar Heels big front line. The Spartans will rely heavily on Raymar Morgan, who leads Michigan State in scoring at 17 points per game.

MSU is 5-2 ATS in its last 7 home games.
MSU is 3-8 ATS in its last 11 games following a SU win.

Key Injuries - NONE

Phoenix at New Orleans
The Hornets look to take advantage of a Phoenix team that is 0-2 ATS as an underdog and 2-5 ATS versus teams with a winning record. New Orleans is the pick (-5 1/2) according to Dunkel, which has the Hornets favored by 8 1/2. Dunkel Pick: New Orleans (-5 1/2). Here are all of today's picks.
