Nashville are 6-1 SU in their last 7 games.
Nashville are 1-4 SU in their last 5 games against Anaheim.
Nashville are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games on the road.
Nashville are 7-1 SU in their last 8 games when playing on the road against Anaheim.
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Anaheim's last 6 games.
Anaheim are 8-1 SU in their last 9 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Anaheim's last 7 games against Nashville.
Anaheim are 10-0 SU in their last 10 games at home.
Prediction
The Predators have been playing much better lately and have won 6 of their last 7 games scoring an average of 4.5 goals per game on that strecht but already lost against the Ducks earlier this season at home. The Ducks are coming from a win against the Maple Leafs but they are still one of the worst teams in the league. I like the Preds to win this game easy.
