Nashville at Los Angeles

The Nashville Predators have certainly opened some eyes in the first half of the NHL season as they are out of he gate with a strong 24-9-3 record. A lot of that work has been accomplished on home ice as the road has been much different where they have won 10 of 19. The Kings have certainly impressed on home ice where they have come away with a win 70% of the time at 14-4-2 on the season. Nashville is off a big home win vs. St. Louis, but their last two on the road have been very rocky, allowing 5 goals each to Boston, and Chicago, and it won't get easier here. The Predators have yet to elevate their play on the road to match the intensity they play with at home, and until they do, the elite teams will have their way with them. Play on the Kings in this one.
