The way to hang with mighty Chicago is with tough defense and Nashville comes to town ranked 11th in the NHL in goals scored as they prefer to slow the pace down. The Predators are on 4-0-1 run UNDER the total. Of course, you have to score goals sometimes, too, and Nashville doesn't at 27th in goals scored. They come off a 1-0 loss to this same Chicago team yesterday, so this is the second of a home-and-home series. The UNDER is 11-4-2 in the Predators last 17 against a team with a winning record and 18-8-6 UNDER the total against the Central division. Chicago is No. 1 in the NHL in goals allowed and sixth in penalty killing. The Blackhawks have outscored the Predators 6-2 while winning the first three meetings of the season, with Ray Emery and Corey Crawford each posting a shutout. The UNDER is 5-1-1 in the Blackhawks last seven games playing on no days rest and 10-3-1 UNDER the total in the Blackhawks last 14 vs. the Central division. Play Nashville/Chicago UNDER the total.
