Filip Forsberg leads the Preds in scoring with 29 points including team-highs of 11 goals and 18 assists while Roman Josi also has 18 assists and Calle Jarnkrok also has 11 goals this season.

Nashville is 7-1 in their last 8 games overall and 5-1 in their last 6 road games while the under is 3-0-2 in their last 5 games overall. Detroit is 4-1 in their last 5 home games and 8-20 in their last 28 games following a win while the under is 4-0-1 in their last 5 games following a win. Nashville is 5-2 in the last 7 meetings between these two teams.
The plus money with a home dog like Detroit’s worth a look on the surface, but realistically it’s still Detroit we’re talking about here and the Red Wings don’t really string wins together consistently enough to get me to take a considerable shot on them here. I knocked Nashville and their road from earlier in the year, but the Preds are playing some solid hockey right now and this is a reasonable price on the road all things considered. I’ll lay it and play it with Nashville in this spot.
Chris’s Pick Nashville -143
