Nashville at Colorado

Nashville has a winning record both home and away with exceptional balance, #12 in goals scored, #13 in goals allowed and #10 on the power play. The Predators are 8-3 against the Western Conference. Nashville (7-0-4 stretch) earned a point in an 11th consecutive game with Thursday's 5-4 overtime loss to New Jersey. Nashville has continued to get big production from its line of Mike Ribeiro, Filip Forsberg and Craig Smith, each of whom had a goal. Nashville's 12-3-4 mark since January 21 trails only Anaheim among West teams, with much of that success coming on the road (8-0-1 in their last nine road games). Slumping Colorado is soft on defense, #22 in goals allowed and #18 in penalty killing, so grab the talented, balanced and hot visitors. Play Nashville.
