Total: 5.00 | -125.00 Over
Result: Win
The under has cashed the last six times these two teams have played in San Jose. Look for that trend to continue as I don't see six goals being scored.
Nashville goalie Pekka Rinne has a 1.84 goals-against average (GAA). That shrinks to 1.17 GAA during his last five games at San Jose.
San Jose has scored on only three of its 25 power play chances. The Sharks are 0-for-11 on power plays during their last five games. Nashville has killed off 21 of 24 penalties on the season.
I don't see Nashville doing damage either. San Jose goalie Martin Jones has the second-best GAA in the league at 1.69. The Predators failed to score during their two games at San Jose last season.
So get ready for a tight checking, low-scoring matchup featuring outstanding goaltending.
