PREDATORS/CANUCKS: ON THE ROAD AGAIN!
(NHL) Nashville vs. Vancouver,
Total: 5.50 | -114.00 Under
Result: Win
Predators/Canucks

The Predators, on the road and with their third game in 4 nights face the struggling Canucks. While the new additions to the Vancouver lineup have largely been successful, the top scoring line of the Canucks has been slow to start. The Canucks are scoring only 2.4 goals per game, and with a struggling power play. The Predators at 5-5 are middle of the pack in many regards, with goals for at 2.7 and goals allowed at 2.9. They are getting solid goaltending from Saros, who has been very sharp, particularly against Calgary 2 games back.

The Canucks have also had solid goaltending. But for Thatcher Demko, the Canucks would really be in the dumpster. Allowing 2.6 goals a game, the defense is an improvement over last year but is still a work in progress.

The Predators are missing Forsberg which is a blow. The Canucks are missing a pair of fourthliners, who are important in the PK. With the low-scoring Canucks and two topnotch goalies, I’m looking at the total in the ‘Nucks/Preds and thinking under.
