Nashville at Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh was outplayed and outshot 26-12 in Game 1. At one point the Penguins went 37 minutes without a single shot on goal while Nashville fought back from a three-goal deficit to eventually lose 5-3 in the opener. Both things do not bode well for the Predators in Game 2 as the Penguins figure to put more pressure on Pekka Rinne, who allowed four goals, which was the most he's given up since Game 2 of the Anaheim series. The Predators will have a tough time mentally recovering from a win that got away. Rinne still has a 1.83 goals-against average and .934 save percentage in the postseason, but Matt Murray has a 1.62 GAA and .936 save percentage in six games since returning to the ice following an injury and he had 23 saves in Game 1. Nashville has lost five of the last six meetings at Pittsburgh and nine of the last 11 overall. The Penguins have won seven of their last nine Stanley Cup Finals games and 64 of their last 85 home contests. Play the Penguins.
