This is an 8* play on the Nashville Predators.
The Oilers have missed the postseason for nine straight years and because of that, the team has a spoil of riches in young talent through the draft, including their recent No. 1 overall pick Connor McDavid. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, Edmonton is still a team that lacks identity and while the future would seem bright, another long season is in the cards in 2015/16. McDavid played 18 minutes in the team's 3-1 loss to St. Louis on Thursday and was very ineffective. The whole team was ineffective in fact, the lone goal was a fluke after a Blues defenseman shot it off a teammate and into the net while trying to clear the puck while shorthanded. Nashville is coming off a hard-fought 2-1 win over Carolina on opening night, Pekka Rinne made 25 saves and lost his shutout bid on Eric Staal's goal with 1:40 remaining. Rinne is the difference today, he won 41 games last year behind a stellar 2.18 GAA; also note that he posted a ridiculous 0.98 GAA while winning all three vs. Edmonton last season, including a 37-save shutout the last time he faced it on November 27th. The visitors counter with Cam Talbot, who had 28 saves on Thursday and who has had success against the Predators in the past, but we're still going to give the nod to Rinne in this matchup. After a somewhat lacklustre victory over the Hurricanes, we're expecting NASHVILLE to take full advantage of this favorable matchup.
