The set-up: These two teams have played to back-to-back "overs." First Nasville won 5-2, then Chicago won 5-4 in OT in the last one. Suffice it to say, I believe this third contest absolutely sets up as more of a defensive affair. Nashville only averages 2.60 GPG, while the Hawks average 2.81. Both have struggled with defensive consistency, but the trends/numbers do support a lower-scoring affair here.

The pick: As note that Nashville has seen the total go "under" in eight of its last 11 in trying to revenge a road loss vs. an opponent in which it conceded five or more goals in, while Chicago has seen the total dip below the posted number in seven of its last ten home games after playing to back-to-back "overs."

This is a 10* TOTAL COACHS CORNER on the UNDER Predators/Hawks.
