San Jose at Nashville

The Nashville predators are getting no respect here. While all other home teams this weekend are -150 or higher favorites, Nashville is a home underdog in this one. Consider that they had the better record than their opponent today. They scored 3.5 goals per game at home while giving up just 2.3. Their opponent actually had a negative win margin on the road this year (scored 3.0 per game while allowing 3.2). Nashville finished extremely strong having won their last six games by a combined score of 22-7. Sure, Tomas Vokoun is out. But, Chris Mason has done very well since taking over. Seven goals in the last six games including two shutouts? That's pretty good in my book. It should be close but I give the edge to the home squad here - a team that is 21-3 in the second of back-to-back home games this season.
