Nashville's Peter Laviolette faces the Philadelphia Flyers for the first time since they fired him after three games last season. Philadelphia has finally been playing some defense while winning five of seven. They prefer an up-tempo style but face a Nashville team run by their former coach that is all about defense and slowing the pace down at #17 in the NHL in goals scored, but second in goals allowed. The UNDER is 10-2-3 when the Predators face a team with a losing record. The Predators go with goalie Pekka Rinne, third in the NHL with a 1.84 GAA, and they are 9-3-3 UNDER the total at home. Play this one UNDER.
