Nashville at Tampa Bay

First-place Nashville will lean on its great defense for this showdown, ranked third in the NHL in goals allowed. The offense is great, too, at sixth in goals scored, off a 4-1 win over Vegas. Nashville is a perfect 5-0 on the road this season and is 39-18 when playing on one day of rest. Nashville star defenseman P.K. Subban (10 points) has recorded four assists in his last three games. The Predators are on a sizzling 20-6 run on the road. Tampa Bay is home from a five-game road trip and has allowed 12 goals the last three games. The team is still ranked in the top 8 in the league defensively in goals allowed and penalty killing, and 9-2-2 UNDER the total when following a win. But Nashville matches up well, winning seven of the last nine meetings, so back the talented dog in a defensive duel. Play Nashville and the UNDER.
