Result: Win
This is an 8* play on the Nashville Predators.
The Predators will host the Coyotes on Tuesday as the visitors will play their first road game of the season. Arizona was not as successful in their four home games as they would have hoped, coming out with a 2-2 record and off a 6-1 loss versus the Blues. They might find it tough sledding against a Predators team that has yet to lose a game in regulation this season.
Their Finnish goalie Pekka Rinne can take a lot of credit for that, going 3-0-1 with a 1.23 GAA for a .948 save percentage in his four starts. He shut out the Jets in a 2-0 victory on Friday, and are likely to be back between the pipes as backup Carter Hutton started the last game. The one thing the Coytoes have going for them this season is their power play, as they've averaged one power play goal per game so far, but they might find it tough to get one tonight as the Predators only have allowed two over their first five games, successfully killing 88% of their penalties.
These are numbers the Coyotes can only dream of so far, killing just 71% of their penalties, with them ranking second last in the league beaten only by the Islanders. Penalties or no penalties, they are still conceding a lot of goals, with their opponents averaging 4.5 goals per game and their first choice goalie Mike Smith showing a 5.34 GAA over three games. He might have to wait for a turnaround, as his record against the Predators are not great to say the least, going 1-4-0 with a 3.60 GAA.
Home advantage seems to be a big factor when these two teams face off, with the hosts taking down six of the last seven meetings. The Predators are looking good to keep that trend going, as they've won six of their last seven home games overall.
Take NSH.
