Total Annihilation - NHL Rotation #47 Thursday 8* OVER 5.5 goals in Carolina Hurricanes vs Nashville Predators @ 7:05 ET - The Predators have been getting strong goaltending but all the defensive injuries are going to catch up to them in this match-up. Carolina has given the Preds trouble all season long and the Hurricanes are 5-0 against Nashville, dating back to last season and including all 4 match-ups this season. Carolina has scored an average of 4 goals per game in those victories. But Nashville has been scoring well entering this match-up and that is why the play here is the over. The Predators have won 13 of last 16 games and have scored an average of 3.6 goals per game, not including OT or SO in those victories. 3 of the 4 match-ups between these teams this season have totaled at least 6 goals and I fully expect this one will as well. The Hurricanes are angry off back to back losses and will take advantage of a depleted defensive corps for the Predators. 8* OVER 5.5 goals in Carolina
