St. Louis Blues vs. Nashville Predators Prediction

I’m on the under here. I get the case to be made for either side in this game, but I like the under because I don’t really trust the offense on either side and I think this is just a spot where it’s a first to 3 wins kind of game. Not because of great defense or goaltending on either side, but because of a lack of scoring. Give me the under here.
