Pittsburgh at Nashville

The Penguins opened the season like they were hungry to return to the finals, but they have fallen of late and are struggling. The Pen's have recorded just one win in their last six games and overall, they are just 4-7 in their last 11 on the road. They have been giving up almost four goals per game on the defensive end, but to make matters worse, the offense has gone stone cold as the Penguins have managed to put the puck in the net just 11 times in their last eight games or just over one per game. It is hard to trust a team at almost even odds to abruptly change that. Nashville has lost five straight themselves, but their problems don't seem to be nearly as severe as the Penguins right now. The Penguins have been 0-9 in their last nine games following a win and just 1-10 following one day’s rest. The Predators meanwhile are making hay against the Atlantic in their last 23 games where they are 16-5-2. The Predators get the call in this one.
