St. Louis Blues vs Nashville Predators Prediction
You can make a case for the Blues, considering they’ve won four straight games against the Preds. The truth is there’s not much separating the teams this season, as they’ve both been hot and cold. I’ll lean Predators at home, given the pick em price and the fact seven of their 11 wins this season have come on their home ice. The Blues still have these games where the defense falls apart, and the Preds are coming off massive wins over the Panthers and Avalanche. Maybe that’s the push they needed to turn their season around. I’d need bang for my buck to back the Blues on the road. Give me the Predators.
