Ottawa at Nashville

This is the fourth road game over the last six contests for Ottawa, a squad a little short on defense ranked #21 in goals allowed and #28 in penalty killing. The Senators are 2-5 against the Central Division and face a Nashville team playing its second straight home game following a four-game trip. The Predators rank second in the NHL with 31.6 shots per game. They had a big edge in shots the last game at home, but dropped a 4-0 battle to St. Louis. Still, Nashville is on a 38-16 run at home and 13-5 playing on two days of rest. The Predators are also seventh in the NHL in goals allowed and 8-2 against the Eastern Conference. Take Nashville.
