This is a 10* TOTAL OF THE MONTH on the UNDER between the Nashville Predators and the Chicago Blackhawks.

Chicago won the Western Conference with 109 points, while Nashville snagged the final wild card spot by finishing with 94 points. The Blackhawks won the season series 4-1. If the Predators have any shot whatsoever in scoring the upset tonight and in this series, they'll need goaltender Pekka Rinne to stand on his head. Rinne had a strong season, finishing 31-19-9 and a 2.42 GAA. Nashville averaged 2.9 GPG and allowed 2.7. Chicago averaged 2.9 and allowed 2.6. Corey Crawford finished 32-18-4 with a 2.55 GAA this season. Note that the Predators have seen the total go UNDER the number in three of four in April, while Chicago has already seen the total go UNDER in four of five when playing on three days rest. Nashville needs to slow this one down to grind out victories, so we're expecting a lower-scoring goaltenders battle in Game 1 of this Western Conference series. Play the UNDER
