Result: Win
The set-up: The St. Louis Blues staved off elimination with a 2-1 win home win on Friday over the Predators, after losing consecutive games in Nashville to fall behind 3-1 in this second round series. The Predators are the West's No. 8 seed but take to their home ice on Sunday with a chance to advance to the Western Conference finals, something the franchise has yet to do. The Blues now face another win-or-go-home scenario when they visit the Predators on Sunday afternoon in Game 6
St. Louis: Jaden Schwartz delivered the tie-breaking goal in the first minute of the third period in Game 5's 2-1 win but St. Louis was able to score just one goal in each road loss to the Predators. "We know that we're going to have to be even better next game," Blues head coach Mike Yeo told reporters. "We lost home-ice along the way here, so we have to find a way to win a game in their building and we know it won't be an easy challenge for us, but we'll be up for it." So he hopes.
Nashville: The Predators own a spotless 4-0 record in Nashville during the postseason, having allowed just five goals in their four wins at Bridgestone Arena. Nashville's No. 1 line of Ryan Johansen and 31-goal scorers Viktor Arvidsson and Filip Forsberg were dominant in a first-round sweep of top-seeded Chicago, combining for 15 points in the stunning upset. However, that unit has pretty much been kept in check by St. Louis, managing a total of three points - getting zero production from Arvidsson and one point from Johansen. 'Saving' the Predators has been goalie Pekka Rinne. There were questions about the drop-off in Rinne's play entering the playoffs but he has posted a 7-2-0 mark, 1.41 goals-against average and a staggering .951 save percentage,
The pick: St. Louis netminder Blues Jake Allen owns a 1.94 GAA and .937 SP in the playoffs but his team hasn't been able to score enough. In particular, the Blues are 1 of 14 with a man advantage against Nashville and a woeful 2 of 29 on the power play in this year's playoffs, to-date. Make the Under a 10* play.
