Nashville at Chicago

Nashville has great balance at #11 in goals scored and #15 in goals allowed. The Predators are 12-5 after scoring two or fewer goals in their previous game. Chicago beat Nashville in two recent playoffs series, 4-2 each time, but they were dogfights, and this Nashville team is better. Ryan Johansen is a definite upgrade at center over Mike Ribeiro, while Filip Forsberg has cemented himself as an elite player. Goalie Pekka Rinne's late surge has him tied with Chicago's Corey Crawford for save percentage at .918. The Chicago Blackhawks are less experienced for this postseason with several rookies in the lineup. Take Nashville.
