The Preds are in a pickle early. They were rolled over by the Avalanche, and are without starting goalie Saros. They will need to play tighter and tougher today, The Av's are clipping along a top speed and are a tough opponent anywhere, but are nearly unbeatable at home. Nashville will need to find some quality goaltending and Rittich was not the answer in Game one. It likely won't be as easy, but I expect another fine performance from the Av's today. Colorado - 1 1/2.
