Nashville at Toronto

The Nashville Predators have been one of the surprise NHL teams out of the gate in the early going at 11-4-2. The Predators have done it on the defensive end, limiting 11 of their first 17 opponents to 2 goals or less. That includes four of their last five resulting in a 4-1 mark. Toronto has had a difficult time on home ice this season, playing at just .500 through 10 games. One reason is they have allowed half of their opponents on home ice to score 4 or more goals. If they don't tighten things up with the way the Predators are defending, they will be in for a long night. The Predators are perfect against the Atlantic in their last five at 5-0, and there's trouble ahead for Toronto at 4-10 in their last 14 after allowing an opponent to score 5 goals or more goals in their previous game. Take Nashville in this one.
