San Jose at Nashville
The Predators are coming off their worst performance of the season in a 4-1 loss to last-place Los Angeles at home on Saturday. Nashville was held without a first-period goal for just the second time in the last 20 games and the loss snapped a franchise-best eight game home winning streak. Now they have to rebound against San Jose, which owns the best road record in the league at 18-8-0. The Sharks' offense was in high gear last night in a 6-5 win over St. Louis as Joe Thornton and Jonathan Cheechoo both had a goal and three assists. San Jose looks like a good underdog pick in this one according to Dunkel, which has the Sharks favored straight up by 1/2 a goal. Dunkel Pick: San Jose (+1 1/2). Here are all of today's games.
