Dallas at Nashville

Dallas is a dog, but is a talented group, one of the best teams in the West. Dallas is second in the NHL in goals scored with a much improved defense from last year. Dallas plays three of its next four on the road where it's averaged 3.6 goals during a 6-1-1 surge. Included in that stretch is a 3-2 overtime victory at Nashville on February 15, a game that went UNDER the total. The Stars are 20-6 after scoring two or fewer goals in their previous game. The Stars have a better road record than Nashville has at home. Nashville is #10 in the NHL in goals allowed, off a 5-0 win over St. Louis, but the offense is #17 in goals scored. The Predators are 10-25 against the powerful Central Division, plus 14-5-7 UNDER after a victory. The Stars have won four in a row against the Predators, with Jamie Benn tallying four goals and seven points in the last three meetings, and the UNDER is 9-3 when they clash. Take Dallas plus the UNDER.
