Chicago at Nashville

Defending champion Chicago heads out on the road again where they have a losing record. Everybody is gunning for the champs and the Blackhawks are 4-9 in their last 13 road games. This is the eighth road game in the last 11 contests for Chicago. They lost the last two on the road despite being favorites of -135 the last road game in a 4-3 loss at Ottawa. Chicago's goalie Corey Crawford has not played well against Nashville, with a 6.75 goals-against average and .797 save percentage in his last three games in Nashville. Nashville is home from a three-game trip, beating Boston as a dog, 3-2, then losing the last game at Chicago, 4-1. But the Predators are 40-13 at home against a team with a road winning percentage of less than .400, as well as 42-19 in their last 61 home games. The home team is 6-0 in the last six meetings between these Central Division rivals, so grab home ice and play on Nashville.
