AAA's NHL MID-CHALK CHOKE-OUT (LAY IT & CA$H IT!)
(NHL) Winnipeg vs. Nashville,
Money Line: -154.00 Nashville (Home)
Result: Win
This is an 8* MID-CHALK CHOKE-OUT on the Nashville Predators.

I think we're getting pretty good value on the home side here which will look to bounce back off a 4-3 loss to St. Louis last time out. Winnipeg has remained competitive through the first 17 games, but has been getting the job done with smoke and mirrors in my opinion, it is one of the worst scoring teams in all the NHL in averaging just 1.82 GPG. The Jets have obviously been winning with a better than average defense which is giving up 2.00 GPG which has helped the team go 5-1-1, including a 3-1 effort over Carolina. Strong goaltending is another factor, starter Ondrej Pavelec has gone 5-1-2 with a 1.44 GAA of late, which includes a 3-1 home win over Nashville on November 4th. I think the revenge factor definitely comes into play today. Note that Nashville has limited opponents just 2.06 GPG, while goaltender Pekka Rinne is 4-1-0 witha 2.01 GAA this month (and note that Rinne is 5-0-0 with a 1.99 GAA vs. Winnipeg). I think the visitors inability to bury the puck finally comes back to haunt them here, note that the Jets are a poor 0-3 (-3 units) this year following a victory by 2 goals or more, while Nashville is already 6-2 (+4.2 units) this season in revenging a loss vs. an opponent. This line should be higher in my opinion, play on the PREDATORS.
