The set-up: Scoring is clearly up in the NHL in this weird Pandemic format. Every game on Saturday eclipsed the posted number (I had a play on the Canucks UNDER 6.5 goals, and it entered the third period with only two.) The Stars likely shocked a few people with their 7-0 win in the first game with the Predators two nights ago, as they had their first few games postponed due to some minor COVID issues. Dallas certainly surprised the Predators in that one, but I don't expect to see that sort of lop-sided offensive outburst again.

The pick: The Predators are only averaging 2.50 GPG this year, thanks in large part to a power play which has scored just 6.3 percent of the time (note that Nashville has also seen the total dip under in seven of its last ten games after allowing six or more goals in a shutout loss in its previous outing.) Consider the under in this one.

The is a 1* FREE PLAY on the UNDER Preds/Stars.
