Wild vs. Predators Prediction

I’m rolling with Nashville here. The Wild have had little success over the years in the Music City, and while I was on the wrong side of the new coach rub last time out, I don’t see Minnesota stringing back-to-back wins here. The Preds are playing really well right now and play sound fundamental hockey more often than not and I think the Preds continue their home dominance over Minnesota with another win here.
