The Predators are 0-4 in their last four games playing on zero days of rest. Nashville is 0-4 in its last four Tuesday games.
Prediction:
Nashville isn’t quite the same team with Pekka Rinne out with an injury, although he is questionable tonight. If he remains out, I love Las Vegas to steal one. The Golden Knights seem to be picking up some steam and after last year’s remarkable run, it isn’t as if they forgot how to play hockey. Take a shot at an upset tonight, especially if Rinne remains out of action. The argument could also be made that even if Rinne plays, he’ll have some rust to shake off after missing a couple games.
