Very clear cut reasoning behind this play; the Preds are HOT, the Blues are NOT.

The visitors are coming off five straight defeats and took a 4-0 beating by Winnipeg at home Friday. Blues have lost the first three meetings with the Preds this season and they've lost seven straight visits to Bridgestone Arena.

Nashville is entering this game on a three-game winning streak, outscoring its opponents by a combined 15-5 in the process.

My NHL Game of the Week is a 10* play on Nashville Predators.
