Nashville at Vancouver

Nashville won the first meeting this season 5-3 on Nov. 17, with Juuse Saros stopping 24 of 27 shots for the Predators. Saros is expected to start this game with a 2.82 goals-against average and a .903 save percentage. After losing the first three games, Nashville wants to salvage something from this road trip. Vancouver is playing on consecutive nights after going to a shootout to defeat Seattle 4-3 last night on the road. The Canucks still have lost six of nine, and they are 1-5 in their past five games as home underdogs of +110 to +150 and 2-9 overall as dogs of +110 to +150. Vancouver has lost four of five against Central Division opponents and has won just seven of 20 home games this season. Take the Predators.
