Boston at Nashville

The Predators are returning home losers of three in a row, including a 3-2 road setback against the Blue Jackets in their last game this past Tuesday. This marks Nashville's fifth game in eight days. Boston is the more rested team. This is just its second game in five days. The Bruins have fared well at Bridgestone Arena, beating the Predators four of the past five times there. Boston is the superior team at 34-21-5. Nashville is 27-26-8. The Predators have scored only two goals during four of their last five games. They are breaking in new faces, having made three trades during the past couple of days. Nashville could be without its points leader, center Ryan O’Reilly. He left Tuesday’s game after taking a stick to the eye off a faceoff and is questionable. Boston is a top 10 scoring team and ranks fourth on the power play. Take the Bruins.
