This is not an ideal travel situation for the Nashville Predators. They have just completed five consecutive road games and one home game, and now they are hitting the road again. The New Jersey Devils rank 7th in shots allowed per game, while the Predators are ranked 21st. New Jersey boasts a shot differential of +59, whereas Nashville's is only +4. Additionally, the Devils have five players—Bratt, Hughes, Hischier, Hoesen, and Hamilton—ranked in the top 75 in points, while the Predators have none. Overall, the Devils' team speed will likely be too much for the Predators to handle.

Nashville has just one road victory in its past eight and I think there's a decent chance that struggling backup Scott Wedgewood gets the call in NJ because No. 1 Juuse Saros has played several in a row. I'll play a half-unit now in case it is Saros, but I'd recommend a full (if not more) if it's Wedgewood. The Devils have lost eight straight at home in this series and you know they are aware of that. They have won seven of nine currently.
