*I don't actively follow tampa, so I could be wrong with certain assumptions*

This lineup is aggressively top heavy and imo won't be as effective against Pittsburgh. Tampa's benefit is they do have last change (home game), but if I'm Sullivan I'm glueing Blueger-ZAR-Tanev to Tampa's first line and give Crosby and Malkin lines matchups away from Point and Kuch (obviously Stam is a threat but not as solid on D-side).

Tampa has a better roster than Pens, but this doesn't use it that way.

If Pens shutdown line (probably the best shutdown line in the league) can handle Tampa's top 3 offensive players, Pens will win. This will also allow Crosby too focus on offence instead of worrying about the big 3.

These are the lines tampa has been using a lot lately. Secondary scoring has been great lately too. Cooper runs four lines so every line gets around the same ice time.

The second line has three players on pace for 20 goal season. Third line has a skater with 21 goals so far.

This team is so good and look to be flying as of late. Penguins are 19-5-1 in their last 25. Only team with more wins in that span? Tampa.. Looking forward to it! I wonder if Murray or Jarry will get the start

The Cirelli Line will bployed against Crosby anyway
