Prediction
The Pittsburgh Penguins have won three straight games and things look good for them to win their fourth. Both of these teams need the points to help solidify their playoff spot, but Nashville has had no answers in Pittsburgh, losing six straight games there. The Penguins have won four of the last five games overall, and there is no reason to believe that trend will occur.
The total is set at 6.0. Nashville has gone under in six straight games on the road, and Pittsburgh has gone under in 10 of their last 13 games, that includes five of their last seven. Before giving up five goals in his last start, he had allowed two total goals in his prior three starts. Murray has allowed two or less in five straight games. This should be a low scoring affair. Take Pittsburgh to win, 3-1.
Two Games to Watch
Arizona Coyotes (+133) vs. Colorado Avalanche (-159)
This should be a fantastic contest, as Arizona (37-33-7) enters this game in ninth in the Western Conference with 81 points, trailing Colorado (35-29-13) by two points for the final playoff spot in the conference. Arizona is 18-18-3 on the road this season and they are 4-4-2 in their last 10 games. Colorado is 18-14-6 at home and they are 6-3-1 in their last 10 games.
Why Arizona Wins:
Coyotes are 9-3 in their last 12 games against Western Conference teams.
Coyotes are 7-3 in their last 10 games following a victory.
Avalanche are 6-14 in their last 20 games following a victory.
Darcy Kuemper had a shutout in his last start.
Why Colorado Wins:
Avalanche are 5-1 in their last six games.
Avalanche are 6-2 in their last eight games at home.
Coyotes are 1-5 in their last six games.
Philipp Grubauer has won five of his last six starts.
What About the Total?
Go under 5.5, because…
Total has gone under an 11 of the last 16 meetings in Colorado.
Arizona has gone under in four of their last five on the road.
Arizona has gone under in five of the last six overall.
Colorado has gone under in five of their last six games.
Kuemper had a shutout in his last start.
Minnesota Wild (+148) vs. Vegas Golden Knights (-180)
The Minnesota Wild enter this contest close to being eliminated, ranked 10th in the Western Conference with 79 points (35-33-9). Minnesota is 20-16-2 on the road this season and are 3-6-1 in their last 10 games. Vegas is in sixth in the conference with 90 points (42-29-6), but has not clinched a playoff berth yet. The Golden Knights are 23-10-5 at home this season and are 6-3-1 in their last 10 games. Both teams have lost their last two contests.
Why Minnesota Wins:
Wild are 4-1 in the last five meetings between these two teams.
Devan Dubnyk allowed a single goal in two of his last three games.
Malcolm Subban has lost three straight games for Vegas.
Why Vegas Wins:
Golden Knights are 6-1 in their last seven games at home.
Golden Knights are 10-4 in their last 14 contests.
Wild are 1-4 in their last five games.
Wild are 1-5 in their last six games against teams with a winning record.
What About the Total?
Go under 5.5, because…
Minnesota has gone under in four of their last five games.
Dubnyk allowed one goal in his last start.
Vegas has gone under in four of their last five at home.
Arizona at Colorado: This is going to be a playoff-like atmosphere, too, as these two teams are battling for playoff positions in the Western Conference with very little room for error. Arizona has won nine of their past 12 against Western Conference clubs, but they're just 1-4 in the past five as an underdog. They're also 1-4 in the past five as a road 'dog, too. Colorado topped Vegas in a huge win on Wednesday night, and they're 5-1 in the past six overall. They're also 6-2 in the past eight home outings, while going 4-1 in their past five games as a favorite. For total bettors, the under has cashed in 11 of the past 16 meetings in Denver, and this could be a big-time defensive struggle with so much on the line and teams taking few chances.
__________________
Minnesota at Vegas: The Wild also have very little room for error, and they're playing poorly when they need to be much better. They're 1-4 in the past five overall, 1-5 in the past six against winning teams and 0-6 in the past six against Western Conference squads. They might catch a break, as Marc-Andre Fleury has been sidelined, so Malcolm Subban might make yet another start. The Knights are still 6-1 in the past seven at home, and 9-2 in the past 11 as a favorite. Minnesota has had Vegas' number, going 4-1 in the past five meetings with the over 3-1-1 during the span.
