The Predators are going on the road in this game and that could be a problem for Nashville. The last 2 games the Predators have played have both been road games and they were both wins, with the last one being a 4-2 win over the Montreal team. The wins allowed the Predators to move up to a 35-26-8 record on the season.

When it comes to finding the back of the net the Predators have only managed to get 3.06 goals a game. The defense for Nashville has allowed 3.12 goals per game. The power play for Nashville is not that bad converting at a clip of 17.1% on the year and the penalty kill could do with some improvement with only 75.8% killed off.

The Maple Leafs head to the game here after picking up a win over the Tampa Bay Lightning in the last game. The Maple Leafs ended up winning the game at home by a score of 2-1. The Maple Leafs with the win improved to a 36-25-9 record on the year so far.

The offense for Toronto has managed to get a total of 3.41 goals a game scored. The defense for Toronto has allowed only 3.20 goals a game. The power play for Toronto is converting at a clip of 22.6% on the year and the penalty kill for the Maple Leafs has killed off 77.2% of the power plays faced.

    The Toronto team is playing at home and also coming into the game with a good confidence boost after taking down the Lightning in their last game. Look for that type of success to continue in this game here as the Predators are not anywhere near the same caliber of play as the Lightning. The one main difference is the Maple Leafs get their offense going early and do not look back in the game here. Final Score Prediction, Toronto Maple Leafs win 5-2.
