NHL Odds: Lightning-Predators prediction, odds, pick and more

Nashville Predators and Tampa Bay Lightning are playing each other at Nissan Stadium tonight. Tampa is on a three-game winning streak and 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. Nashville has won two games in a row, but that came off of a four- game losing streak.

Tampa Bay Lightning are trying to repeat their success from last season. They are currently second in the Atlantic Division with 72 points. Andrei Vasilevskiy will start for the Lightning against Nashville. He is posting quality numbers with a .921 save percentage and allowing 2.29 goals per game.

Predators are currently in the first Wild Card spot in Western Conference. They are ranked 14th in league with 3.06 goals per game. Their special teams have been good, scoring 24 percent of the time on the power play and with a 79.6 percent success rate when they're shorthanded. Goalkeeper Juuse Saros is in contention for Vezina trophy. He's posted a .924 save percentage and allowed 2.45 goals against this season.

The temperature is supposed to be around 40 degrees in Nashville at puck drop. The outdoor rink is not ideal for hockey. I'm picking the Under 6.5 in this game.

The final score is under 6.5.
