Result: Win
T.M. Selection: Nashville Predators.
I like the Nashville Predators to win this game against the Dallas Stars on Thursday. The Predators haven't looked lately but they just broke out of a big funk with a win in their most recent game. They beat the Panthers 6-4 in a road game and I think they can start to gain some momentum into this game now that they have won a game and ended their losing skid. They are back on home ice for this game and I expect them to be fired up to play here. They are just 4 points above the Stars in the Standings so this is a huge game for both teams since a win for the Stars inches them closer while a win for the Preds allows them to pull away more. They have looked pretty good on their home ice this year and they haven't lost a game on home ice that went past regulation. The Stars actually have a road record below .500 this year and they have looked really shaky in their games lately. They have won 3/5 games of their previous 5 but only 1 of those wins was impressive. During that time, they lost 2 games, 1 of those games was against the Coyotes where they only scored 1 goal and the other was a loss to the Avalanche where they were shut out. They also had 3 wins during that time but only 1 was impressive and that was because it was a revenge game right after they had been shut out their game before by the Avalanche. Their other 2 wins were against the Jets and the Blackhawks, who are both below the Stars in the standings, and they had to go past regulation to win both of those games. I don't like the way the Stars have looked lately, just getting by barely in a lot of these games tells me that they have a losing skid coming their way and I think it is time for them to fizzle out a bit here. The Preds have already served their time, just breaking out of a losing skid now and I think they will play hard here on home ice to maintain their lead over the Stars in the standings. I think they have looked a lot better lately and I expect them to win this game on home ice. I like the Predators to win this game.
T.M. Prediction: 3-1 Predators.
