Nashville at New Jersey

Nashville is dominant on defense, tops in the NHL in goals allowed and penalty killing. Goaltender Pekka Rinne registered his 37th career shutout in Nashville's 2-0 win over the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night and has surrendered one goal in the first two games. New Jersey is home but, like last year, they can't score, averaging two goals during its 0-2 start. Even the defense has been poor allowing eight goals in two games (#25). New Jersey is on a 1-12 run and the Devils are just 17-41 against the Western Conference. Meanwhile the Predators are 36-17 vs. a team with a losing record and hold all the cards. Take Nashville.
