Nashville/Chicago Over 5 Even
Grab this game fast.
Chicago has been a solid scoring team and when they’re not getting goals in bunches they are giving them up in bunches.
In their last 15 games they have gone over the total 11 times, (11-3-1), with 105 total goals scored in those 15 games leading to exactly 7 per game. They play a wide open and reckless style of hockey as if they have nothing to lose. And with a record of 14-34-7 they don’t. No trapping defense with these guys.
The Predators have played tremendous at home this year but playing on the road is a different story. Not only are they 5 games under .500 but their GAA is a whooping 3.16. Add this to their average goals scored on the road of 2.20 and you can see where the lines maker’s number of 5 tonight is just dead wrong.
Their all-star goalie Tomas Vokoun has looked anything but recently. In his last 6 games the Predators have surrendered 22 goals for a 3.66 average.
In Nashville’s last 6 games they have gone 4-0-2 with their totals.
This number is too low, I can’t imagine this game having less than 5 goals scored, and getting it at even is value I can’t ignore. Put me down for a unit and a half.
