Anaheim Ducks vs. Nashville Predators Prediction

I’m on the under here. These are just two teams that I do not trust offensively, as Nashville continues to look like one of the more underwhelming and disappointing teams in the NHL this season just like they were last year, and Anaheim, while they’re a team with upside, has struggled in their last couple of games and I think the under hits here. Give me the under in a low-scoring game between two inefficient offenses.
