The Blues continue to get beat over the head defensively during this losing stretch, and they’ve been rough on the road all season. The Predators have cooled off from how they were playing a few weeks ago, but they’ve still shown more signs of life overall and have the offensive firepower to add to the Blues struggles. The Preds should win this game, as the Blues are watching their season fall apart before their eyes. Give me the Predators to come away with two big points.
