The Nashville Predators and the Chicago Blackhawks meet in NHL action from the United Center on Sunday night.

The Nashville Predators will look to build on a 3-1 win over the Blackhawks last time out. Filip Forsberg leads the Preds in scoring with 29 points including 11 goals and 18 assists, both team-highs. Roman Josi has 19 points with 17 assists while Calle Jarnkrok has 15 points with 9 goals and 6 assists. Viktor Arvidsson and Eell Toivanen each have 15 points as well with Arvidsson logging 11 assists while Toivanen has 8 goals and 7 assists.

The Chicago Blackhawks will look to bounce back from their loss to the Predators last time out. Patrick Kane leads the ‘Hawks in scoring with 47 points including 13 goals and a team-high 34 assists while Alex DeBrincat has 33 points with 16 goals and 17 assists. Dominik Kubalik has 26 points with 11 goals and 15 assists while Mattias Janmark and Pius Suter have double-digit goal tallies this season. As a team, Chicago is averaging 2.9 goals on 29.3 shots with a 28.3% success rate on the power play while allowing 3.1 goals on 34.1 shots against with a 73.6% success rate on the PK this season.

Nashville is 5-1 in their last 6 games overall and 6-0 in their last 6 games against a team with a losing record. Chicago is 7-2 in their last 9 games against a team with a losing record and 4-1 in their last 5 games as a favorite while the under is 3-0-1 in their last 4 games overall. Nashville is 6-2 in the last 8 meetings between these two teams.

I’ve had a hard time figuring out the Blackhawks, as Chicago’s the rightful favorite, but their play on Saturday didn’t really justify the price here. Nashville continues to have issues on the road, but the Predators are playing the better hockey lately and I don’t see the Blackhawks responding all of a sudden. I’ll take Nashville on the road here.
