Red Wings vs. Predators Prediction

I’m with Nashville here. At a certain point, the rubber has to meet the road and I don’t envision an 0-4 start sitting too well with the Predators front office and fan base after all the moves that were made in the offseason. The Red Wings have shown promise here and there, but the goaltending is still wildly questionable at best, and the Predators have a lot going for them in my opinion. Give me the Preds here.
