Similar teams -- but I think the Preds will ultimately pull it off.
Nashville was lights out at the start of the season, so maybe some time off will help bring that back and they'll have a chance to reset after a disappointing second half of the season. Goaltending is the only advantage that I think ARI has over NSH. NSH has the better defense and has a better offense on paper. So if NSH gets some competent goaltending from either Rinne or Saros (he was one of the best goalies in the second half of the year) and their offensive players come out of their funks, I think NSH will come away with the win. If their offense fails to click and their goaltending can't hold up. I think ARI will win.
Basically, I think it's really the Preds series to win or lose.
