Premium Pick

Shell-shocked Nashville has to fly 2,500 miles for this one after blowing the last two games at home, losing Games 3 and 4 by a combined 7-1 count. Nashville's offensive struggles come from the lack of production from the top line of Ryan Johansen, James Neal and Calle Jarnkrok, who have failed to hit the scoresheet since 35 seconds into the series opener. The Predators also failed on a slew of power-play opportunities in Games 3 and 4, going 0-for-11 with the man advantage. Credit has to go to an Anaheim defense that ranked first in the NHL in goals allowed and in penalty killing in the regular season. Now they are home as Anaheim rebounded from a pair of one-goal losses here to win twice in Nashville in impressive fashion. Anaheim is 25-12-4 at home and on a 27-9 run against the Western Conference. They are also 11-5 against Nashville overall, so grab the home team to win for the first time in this series. Play Anaheim.
