Why Bet On The Under:

Both teams have been trending to the Under in recent weeks. The Under is 3-1 in the last four games for both the Lightning and the Preds.

Nashville’s offense has been middling all season. The Preds rank in the bottom five in both goals and shots per game as they don’t pose much of an offensive presence.

The Lightning are still a top ten offense but they are getting less chances than usual this season, ranking 16th in the league in shots per game.
