Nashville at Arizona

This is a good spot for the slight home dog (Phoenix) to either win or keep it close again. Nashville is 3,000 miles from home and is crossing three time zones. The Predators are down in the series, having lost Game 1 to the Coyotes in overtime on Friday despite being favored. The Predators are 1-4 in their last five Conference Semifinals games and face a red hot goalie in Mike Smith. Nashville has played a one-goal game in five of its last six contests. Phoenix has home ice and a terrific defense, No. 5 in the NHL in goals allowed and the No. 8 best penalty-killing unit. Phoenix is also hot, winning 10 of its last 12 games, plus the Coyotes are 4-0 in their last four games as an underdog. And the last three meetings between these teams have all been decided by one goal. Play the Phoenix Coyotes on the puckline.
