Nashville at New Jersey

This is a great spot for a blowout win by Nashville. Nashville is in first place, ranked sixth in the NHL in goals scored, third in goals allowed. It's a strong all-around team riding a bad 2-5 run. The Predators are 22-5 after scoring two or fewer goals in their previous game, plus 36-15 against a team with a losing record. They catch a break facing a bad New Jersey Devils team that is #28 in goals scored, and have dropped two of three. New Jersey management has packed it in, sending defenseman Marek Zidlicky to Detroit for a draft pick and dealing Jaromir Jagr to Florida for two picks. Goalie Corey Schneider is 0-1-1 with a 3.85 GAA in three career meetings with Nashville, and the Devils are 15-36 against the Western Conference. Look for a one-sided win by the visitors, so take Nashville on the puckline.
