The Predators have won eight of their last 10 meetings with New Jersey.
Colorado has won seven of the last eight meetings with the Blues, and five straight in St. Louis.
Calgary is on an 8-1 run against the Sharks.
Looking for a player prop today? Zach Werenski and Quinn Hughes (both with 59) rank tied for the second-most points among defensemen this season.
If you're basing your handicapping on goaltending, make note that Connor Hellebuyck (34) and Jake Oettinger (26) rank first and second, respectively, for wins this season.
