Colorado at Nashville

Nashville played at Pittsburgh on Saturday and lost 3-2 in overtime, and it hosts Colorado tonight on no rest. The Predators score 2.5 goals a game, tied with Dallas for 26th in the league, allow 3.1 goals a game, 16th, and give up 30.1 shots a game, seventh-most. Colorado scores 4.3 goals a game, second in the league, and takes 30.0 shots a game, sixth. I had the OVER in Colorado’s 6-3 win over Tampa Bay on Friday, and it cashed. The Avalanche allow 3 goals a game, 12th in the league, and they are 2-3 on the road. Nashville’s power play has converted 27.6% of its chances, fifth in the league, and Colorado’s penalty kill has stopped 82.8%, tied for ninth. Colorado qualifies for situations that back a big road favorite with a winning record against an unrested opponent. Nashville has allowed five or more goals in three of its 10 games and Colorado has scored five or more in five of its 11, so I’m taking Colorado on the moneyline.
