Nashville has a winning road record because of a top-notch defense at eighth in goals allowed, and seventh in penalty killing. They have their top goalie in net night and are well rested with four full days off. They face a struggling Vancouver offense that is #27 in goals scored. The Canucks have lost three in a row scoring a total of four goals. Vancouver's offense took another major hit when third-leading scorer Sven Baertschi suffered a fractured jaw after he was hit in the face by a puck Saturday. Baertschi's injury came days after Bo Horvat (10 goals, 20 points) fractured his ankle and also is looking at a lengthy absence. Vancouver likes to slow the pace down and the team is 8-3 UNDER against an opponent with a winning percentage above .600. All of which means look for much more defense than offense. Play the UNDER.
