Nashville +128
Nashville -1.5 +376
I rarely play 2 units on 1 team to win. Here's my take: I see Nashville dominating this game and winning a 3-1 or 4-1 game. I believe Nashville's additions over the last few weeks are important enough for them to make a push at contending for a cup this year. Andrei Kostitsyn, Paul Gaustad and the latest in Alexander Radulov have solidified an already solid squad that starts at the backbone with Weber, Suter and Rinne. I believe the Preds are about to go on a run. As for Chicago, Toews out would have been enough to even be tempted to take the puck line but with Duncan Keith out as well makes the margin of safety much better. These are the 2 most important players of their team. Crawford has been a bright spot for the Hawks but I don't think he will be able to stop Nashville's push for the victory on Sunday. Naturally at +376 odds, the puck line play at -1.5 is a long shot so buyer beware... But the ML play at this price is definitely worth the shot! I will also be parlaying Nashville in 3 different ways tomorrow: ML, -1 PL and possibly OVER 2.5 team total.

Note: As you all know, no play is ever in the bag until that game is played. Furthermore, someone else could make the case for a Hawks win with probably good arguments as well. In my wish to contribute to all viewers of our forum, I invite anyone reading my post to provide arguments supporting the opposite side in this game (ex: b2b Preds, travelling, Hawks regrouping in Keith's absence, possibility of seeing Lindback in net, etc.)

Enjoy your day and all the best!
