BETTING TRENDS
Nashville are 9-4 SU in their last 13 games against Anaheim.
The total has gone OVER in 4 of Nashville's last 5 games.
Anaheim are 0-6 SU in their last 6 games.
The total has gone UNDER in 4 of Anaheim's last 6 games at home.
Prediction
The Ducks have struggled defensively allowing 3.7 goals in their last 10 games and have lost 6 games in a row so It's hard to trust them right now. With the Preds averaging 4.3 gpg in their last 10 games I think they can win this game easy. Take the Predators with the puck line.
PICK: Predators -1.5 (+145)
