St. Louis Blues vs. Nashville Predators Prediction

I’m on Nashville here. The Predators have been playing the better hockey up to this point to begin with, but the Blues are back to being the streakiest team in the NHL, a title they held a few seasons ago as you ride this team when they’re hot until they give you a reason not to, and then when they’re losing, you fade them until they give you a reason not to. I think Nashville gets it done at home here so give me the Preds.
