In this Predators vs Blues Prediction, the Blues are coming as -115 home favorites. Both teams have exactly 36 points this season but I don’t trust the Predators on the road and I don’t trust the Blues at home, as they have been up and down for more than two weeks now. The Blues have the second-worst offense in hockey and both teams score just 5.31 goals per game combined, so take the under 5.5 goals in this one.
