Nashville at Carolina

Nashville has won four of its past five games, including two against the Hurricanes, and Juuse Saros has been tremendous in net compiling an 18-6-1 record with a 1.88 goals-against average since Feb. 27. Carolina scored only one goal against the Predators in the two losses to end the regular season and the Hurricanes come into the playoffs on a three-game losing streak while scoring a total of two goals in that span. The Predators have won 20 of their past 28 games and Carolina is 20-45 its past 65 games playing on at least three days rest, going 7-3 OVER the 10 most recent in that string. Also, the Hurricanes have gone OVER five of seven after allowing at least five goals their previous game. Nashville is healthier than they have been all season. Play the Predators on the puck line and the OVER.
