Trends

Los Angeles is 6-1 in their last 7 games against the Western Conference and 33-16 in their last 49 games against a team with a losing record while the under is 3-1-1 in their last 5 Saturday games. Nashville is 3-10 in their last 13 games against a team with a winning record and 0-5 in their last 5 Saturday games while the over is 4-1 in their last 5 games against the Pacific division.

Pick

I’m backing the under in this game. Both teams have had a tendency of being inconsistent offensively and despite the complaints I’ve had on both sides over the course of the season, in this game, I’m actually a bit of a fan of the goaltending on both sides. I think this game has first to 3 wins written all over it so give me the under here.
