Utah Hockey Club vs Nashville Predators Prediction

I’m not running to the window to back the Utah Hockey Club, but we’re getting plus money to fade the Nashville Predators, one of the worst teams in the league. The Predators have nothing going for them offensively, and they’re 3-6 on their home ice. Not sure how the Predators are laying juice. The Predators have scored 2 or fewer goals in 5 of their last 6 games. The Utah Hockey Club aren’t lighting the world on fire, but you can argue they’ve been the better team this season. Give me the home dog.
