The set-up: Nashville won Game 3 of this series 2-1 on Tuesday and takes a 6-0 record at Bridgestone Arena this postseason into tonight's Game 4 against Anaheim. What's more, Nashville and has won 10 consecutive playoff games at home! Anaheim had evened the series with an impressive 5-3 victory in Game 2, but it was out-shot by 40-20 margin. In Game 3, the Ducks held a 1-0 lead in the third period but were unable to protect a third-period lead for the first time in six games this postseason. Nashville scored twice in the third period and survived a pair of apparent tie-breaking goals that were waved off, to boot!

Anaheim: Corey Perry was bumped off Anaheim's top line in Game 2 but scored for only the second time in the past 11 contests on a bad-angle shot in Game 3. However, the Ducks were unable to generate sustained pressure and in fact, failed to have a shot on goal in the final 11 minutes Tuesday. "You can't score if you don't get pucks towards the net with traffic and second opportunities," Perry told reporters. "It's something we've talked about, we've discussed and we got to do a better job."

Nashville: The West's No. 8 seed is on the verge of taking a 3-1 over the Pacific Division-winning Ducks. The Predators continue to receive excellent production from their blue-line corps, with Roman Josi delivering the decisive goal and Ellis adding an assist to boost their playoff totals to 10 points each, a franchise record for defensemen. Overall, the unit combined for more shots on goal (21) in Game 3 than the Ducks (20) did as a team, led by nine from Ellis - who failed to notch a shot in Game 2. Forward Filip Forsberg has scored in each game of the series, with Tuesday's tying tally in the third period boosting his playoff total to a team-leading six goals.

The pick: Anaheim head coach Randy Carlyle might have doubted the validity of the shot count in Game 3, but he and his players knew the ice was tilted in the Predators' favor. At one stretch that bridged the first and second periods, Nashville goalie Pekka Rinne has now allowed seven goals in six home playoff games, including one in each of the past five. Overall, here at Bridgestone, he has turned aside 167 of 174 shots on goal, for a save percentage of .960. Nashville is the first team to win 10 straight postseason home games since the Detroit Red Wings (1997-98). Can you say 11 in a row? Make Nashville a 10* play.
