The set-up: The Predators now sit only 1.5 games back of the "free falling" Jets for the Central division lead and with a chance to narrow the gap, I look for the home side to deliver the goods here. Note that this is an immediate "revenge" game as well for the Preds, are they were upset 3-2 by the Blues on Friday night. From a situational stand point, there's no question that this one sets up great for the home side.

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but Nashville is 15-6 in its last 21 in the fourth game of a 4-in-6 situation and 42-17 in its last 59 home games vs. a team with a winning road record, while St. Louis is just 1-10 in its last 11 in the third game in a 3-in-4 situation. This one has blowout written all over it. Lay the price.
