Hattie B's Chicken isn't the only thing that is hot in Nashville these days; how about the Preds, now 15-0-2 across their past seventeen games, with thirteen of those wins by more than one goal. Also hot is GK Juuse Saros, off of a shutout vs Detroit on the weekend; in eight starts this month, Saros has posted a 1.99 GAA along with .925 saves. Meanwhile, Vegas is living dangerously with last-minute goals and overtimes before claiming two points in recent games. Will Bruce Cassidy really go with Logan Thompson in goal for a third time in four nights? Play Preds on Puck Line

This run by Nashville is truly astounding, winners of 15 of their past 17 games, with their two losses both coming in OT. This tear has propelled the Preds into the playoff picture, and tonight is a massive game over the team right behind them in the standings,Vegas. The Knights just played last night, which will either force Logan Thompson to mind the net for the second straight night, or Vegas has to turn to Jiri Patera (3.75 goals allowed/game) with the injury to Adin Hill. Nashville beat Vegas a month ago when the Knights were also on a back-to-back. Got to go with the home team here given the situation.

We are fading Vegas tonight in St. Louis (well, Blues puckline) and with No. 1 goaltender Adin Hill out injured, the Knights figure to have to use third stringer Jiri Patera in this one Tuesday. He's 1-3 with a 3.75 GAA. It also will be Vegas' third game in four nights. Nashville has won five straight and is rested.
