While both teams are on the end of a back to back here, this is a much tougher schedule spot for the Nashville Predators, who have to travel and played into Saturday night. The Pittsburgh Penguins had their game end Saturday afternoon, and they don’t have to travel for this game. Major advantage for the Penguins here. Also, the Penguins have beaten up on the Predators over the years. Give me the home team and the reasonable juice given the circumstances.
