Predators vs Hockey Club Prediction

Utah comes into this contest playing some very strong hockey over the last week, and they will be at home for this game. The Hockey Club is 18-15-7 at home this year, while the Predators are just 9-25-5 on the road. Nashville is coming off a win over the Islanders, but they have lost six of their last seven games and have scored two goals or fewer in five of those losses. I really like how Utah is playing on both ends of the ice right now, and I like them to stay hot with another win by at least two goals.
