Preds & Blues Under 5½
Game Time: 2/16/2007 8:00:00 PM

Tonight's skate between the Nashville Predators and St. Louis Blues at the Scottrade Center should fall under the total.
Neither team is playing very well at the moment with the Predators just 3-4 in their last seven and the Blues 3-6 over their last nine. Rather than lay almost two bucks with a Nashville team that is already 6-0 vs Blues this year, but losers of three straight roadies by 12-6 aggregate, we'll look at the total.
Nashville is on current 5-1 under run with inconsistant offense (16 goals in last six games) that prompted them to make Peter Forsberg deal (check status). The Predators are 19-9 under vs losing teams and 19-10 under on the road.
The Blues beat Columbus 4-2 in their last game on Wednesday which puts St Louis in a 9-1 under spot off a win by 2+ goals, and 6-2 under spot off scoring four or more. St Louis is also 35-19 under versus division opponents and 10-5 under off 3+ consecutive overs.
Take into account that the series is 11-3 under in the last 14 meetings, and we have pretty strong case for goals being a premium tonight. Play the under.
