The 6-5-1 Nashville Predators head to Dallas to take on the 4-5-2 Dallas Stars in this central division matchup.

Predators Spotlight

Nashville is 7-3-0 in their last 10 games against Dallas, and have played well over the past week winning five of their last seven.  Offensively, the Predators are averaging 2.58 goals per game, while defensively they are giving up 2.75 goals per game.

Stars Spotlight

Dallas has been struggling recently, losing five of their last six games. Offensively, the Stars are averaging 2.18 goals per game which is 29th in the league.  The struggle continues on the defensive side as the Stars rank 29th in the league giving up 3.09 goals per game and 24th in penalty kill % with 74.4%.

Final Say

This game will be closer than the line suggests.  Out of eight games played last year, five went to overtime.  The under is why I like this game.  The Predators and Stars have both played very low-scoring games this season, and are 4-8 and 3-8 against the Over/Under. The Stars rank 29th in the NHL with 2.18 goals per game, while the Predators aren't much higher at 2.58 ranking 25th. Five of the Predators last six games went under the total.  I see a low-scoring, grind it out type of game, possibly going to overtime.  3-2 Predators.

Pick: Under 5.5
