Nashville at Pittsburgh

I think Nashville shows up here. They have been playing poorly of late and last game they gave up 5 goals in a loss. It was the most goals allowed in their last 21 games and I think they will play inspired defense here as a result. After last game, defenseman Shea Weber said, "We need to tighten up and win the last game before the break." He added that the Western Conference is tight and they can't afford to keep slumping. Pittsburgh can score, but the Predators are 17-11 vs. good offensive teams this season (those averaging 2.9+ goals per game). I like the Predators to surprise here.
