New York and Nashville are a pair of cities that are about as different as it gets, yet they do have one thing in common, which is an NHL team that is going great this season. The NY Rangers are among the elite in the Eastern Conference, while the Nashville Predators are making some sweet music in the West. These two face-off at the Bridgestone arena in a Saturday afternoon tilt that promised to be one of the top puck games of the week, so let’s get into the following NHL betting preview and check the current odds and other info surrounding this game.Date/Time: Saturday, February 7th, 3:00 PMLocation: Bridgestone Arena, Nashville, TennesseeML: Predators -145Nashville sit atop the Central Division at the time of writing, but they are in danger of being overhauled by the surging St. Louis Blues. The Predators are certainly doing their bit to help the Blues play catch-up, as they have now lost 5 of their last 8 outings. Their last game was against the best team in the West, the Anaheim Ducks, and Nashville was very easily cast aside in a 5-2 loss. This is going to be another stiff test for the Predators, and they will not want to let this current slide get any more out of hand. Where they have to improve, especially if they want to make a run in the postseason, is on the power play. They are at just 17% on the season right now, which puts them well down in the rankings for that particular stat.
