Nashville at Utah

Utah's recent scoring drought, ineffective power play, and rust from not having played in six days make the Predators worth backing on the puck line. The Mammoth would be 7-23 in their last 30 games if they were laying 1.5 goals. Utah has scored one goal or fewer in three of its previous five games. The Mammoth are averaging 1.6 goals during this time frame. They rank 28th in the season in power play percentage. Nashville is showing improvement. The Predators have won six of their last nine games. Among the victories achieved during this span were those against the Avalanche and Wild as massive underdogs. Center Logan Cooley remains sidelined for Utah with a lower-body injury. He is tied for second in goals on the Mammoth. Take the Predators on the puckline.

1.5 units on Nashville +1.5 goals -193 (puckline) (risk 1.5 to return 2.28)
