Nashville at Anaheim

Nashville is fighting for a wild-card spot in the West, while Anaheim is battling the Oilers for first in the Pacific Division. The Predators don't want to get in an up-and-down skating race with the Ducks, having lost to the Kings, 3-2, in a shootout last night. Not only is Nashville playing without rest, but it is in action for the fourth time in six days. Nashville has managed just two goals in regulation during each of the past five times it has played in the second of back-to-back games. The Predators have been held to two or fewer goals in four of their last six games. The Ducks are in stop-the-pain mode, having lost five in a row. They are averaging 2.8 goals a game during these past five games. Anaheim has been without Cutter Gauthier for the past three games due to an upper-body injury. Gauthier is the Ducks' leading points producer and goals leader with 38. He is not likely to play today. Take the UNDER.
