The past eight meetings have gone UNDER, and Nashville is 6-0 UNDER following an overtime game on the previous day. The Predators lost 6-5 in OT to Minnesota last night with Juuse Saros allowing six goals on 44 shots. The UNDER is 9-1-2 in Washington's past 12 games against teams that scored at least five goals in their previous game. The Capitals have stayed UNDER four of six home games and four of six against the Central Division. The Predators have gone UNDER five of six versus Metropolitan Division opponents. Justus Annunen will be in the net for Nashville, and he had 32 saves in a 3-2 overtime loss against New Jersey in his last start on Jan. 29. Logan Thompson is expected to return from an upper-body injury, and he owns a 2.46 goals-against average for the Capitals. Take the UNDER.
