Nashville at Anaheim

Nashville is explosive on offense, ninth in the NHL in goals scored, and #12 on the power play. Nashville's Viktor Arvidsson (23 goals) continues his breakout season with five tallies in the last six games. Filip Forsberg (26 goals) has 10 goals the last seven contests, second on the club with 50 points behind Ryan Johansen (51), who has 10 assists in his last seven games. The Predators are 8-3 against the Western Conference. They are a dog to an Anaheim squad that is struggling to score, on a 5-7-1 run. The Ducks are #20 in goals scored and their power play has converted just one of 35 opportunities in the last 13 games. The Ducks are without goalie John Gibson and center Antoine Vermette. Gibson missed the past four games with a strained muscle and is considered day-to-day, while Vermette, one of the NHL's leaders in winning faceoffs, continues to serve a 10-game suspension. Anaheim was a -250 favorite the last game, and lost 2-1 to Vancouver. And three of their last four losses they've been favored as -140, -145 and -250. Take Nashville.
