The slate has been kind to the Preds the past week so we view this 4-game win streak with skepticism. Even Music City loyalists know it's too late for Nashville to make a move on a West playoff spot. Moreover, Anaheim isn't quite the chopped liver of the past, even as consecutive losses have dampened their already longshot playoff hopes. Though the Ducks do have some notable wins in recent weeks, and if nothing else, John Gibson is rested in goal, not having worked since March 5. Anaheim also romped to a 5-2 win over Juuse Saros in the Preds' last visit to Honda Center on January 25, though it was Lukas Dostal in goal that night for the Ducks. Play Ducks Money Line.

Not completely sure why the Predators are favored on the road considering they have a worse overall record than Anaheim and are 8-20-4 away. Yeah, they have won four straight overall I suppose. But star blueliner Roman Josi remains out. Anaheim won the lone meeting this season at home, 5-2 on Jan. 25. The Ducks have some faint playoff hopes. The Preds have none.
