Tampa Bay at Nashville

The Nashville Predators have whiffed in their three home games on the season, starting 0-2-1. But this team certainly is better and more capable, especially on home ice so the value is to be had on them here in Nashville tonight. Tampa has been the type of team that seems to play to the level of its competition. The proving grounds of that statement lie in the fact that the Lightning are now a dismal 33-77-9 on the road when facing a home team with a winning percentage of below .400. Despite the slow start on home ice, Nashville is 12-4 in their last 16 at home not facing a plus line (current -104). The Predators are also over-achieving off of one day of rest where they are 14-6 in their last 20. Take Nashville to get home win No. 1.
