T.M. Selection: Anaheim Ducks.

I like the Anaheim Ducks to win this game against the Nashville Predators on Monday. The Ducks haven't looked good in their games lately but I think they will get a win here and break out of their funk. They have lost 6 games in a row but I think they are due for a bounce back win here. They have been coming close in their previous 4 games, losing 3 of them by 1 goal with 1 going to OT and the other ending in a shootout. They were shut out in their most recent game, losing 3-0 to the Panthers, but the Panthers are 1 of the best teams in the league this year. They also played the Rangers right before that who are also a very good team this year so I think the Ducks have had a rough time lately due to their schedule but I expect them to get a win here against the Predators who aren't as good as the other teams they have seen lately. They also lost to the Predators 4-1 on March 10th and that was 1 of the 1st games in their losing skid so I think they are going to remember that road loss and return the favor here now that they are back on their home ice. The Predators have also looked good lately with wins in 3/4 of their previous 4 games. They have taken down some good teams during that time though and they have been scoring a ton of goals in the process. They have scored 4+ goals in 6 games in a row but scoring that many goals for that many games is only sustainable for so long. I think they will be tired in this game and I expect their scoring to dry up a bit here. I think the Ducks will be able to keep the Predators out of their net in this game and I expect them to get their revenge for that loss less than 2 weeks ago. I like the Ducks to win this game.

T.M. Prediction: 2-1 Ducks.
