This is a tough spot for Nashville, the second of a back-to-back, and the Predators are 4-10 when playing on no days rest. They are also 2-5 on the road against a team with a winning home record and face a talented and fast Detroit squad. Detroit has won four of five and comes off an impressive 3-2 win at St. Louis. They are third in the NHL in goals allowed and fifth in penalty killing. The Red Wings are 9-4 when playing on one day of rest and with that great defense as they are on a 13-3-2 run UNDER the total as well as 6-1-1 UNDER the total at home. Nashville is just 15-35-2 in the last 52 meetings in Detroit. And when these teams play it's been a defensive series at 8-3-4 UNDER the total, including 8-1-1 UNDER the total here in Detroit. Play Detroit and the game UNDER the total.
