This is a 10* CENTRAL DIV. GOY on Nashville.

Aa primarily a situational capper, this one falls right into my "wheel house" so to speak.

Utah is 6-5-3, while Nashville has struggled this year, going 4-9-1. The Predators though enter absolutely desperate to snap a three-game slide, most recently a 6-2 setback at Florida.

After this Nashville hits the road for five straight difficult Western road games, so this first ever matchup against Utah almost becomes a "must win" game for the Predators (well, at least as much of a "must win" game as you can ever encounter at this point of the season!)

The Hockey Club on the other hand snapped a two-game slide with a 4-2 win at St. Louis last time out, but with three whole nights off after this contest, followed by high-profile home games vs. Carolina, Vegas and Washington, not only does this set up as a letdown position for the visitors, but also a "look ahead" spot.

When you add those two factors together you get "TRAP GAME!"

Nashville has struggeld, but here's a great spot to take advantage of. Lay the price, the play is on the PREDATORS.

Good luck, NP
