This is a 10* WESTERN CONFERENCE TOY on the UNDER Canucks/Predators.

It really sets up well from a situational stand point to be a lower-scoring defensive affair here.

Vancouver has now seen the total go OVER the number in seven straight after snapping a three-game losing slide witha 6-2 win over Philadelphia at home in its latest action. The Canucks are just 11-15-3-0 on the road and 22-30-3-1 overall.

The Predators are 26-22-5-1 overall, including 15-10-2-1 at home.

Nashville hasn't been playing well either of late, dropping three of its last four, including a 4-3 loss at Minnesota in its latest action.

Note as well that the Canucks play with revenge here after a 4-3 home loss to Nashville at the start of the season, and that's significant to note, as Vancouver has in fact seen the total go UNDER the number in eight of its last 11 in trying to avenge a home loss against an opponent.

Two teams in dire need of a victory here, expect this competitive like atmosphere to help in contributing to a very defensive and ultimately lower-scoring UNDER as far as the total is concerned.

Good luck, NP
