It's been an exciting offseason for the NHL with blockbuster trades and some of the league's biggest stars signing with new teams. The Colorado Avalanche are still the favorites to win this year's Stanley Cup after taking down the Tampa Bay Lightning to win it last season, who had won the previous 2 Cups. One of the team's the Avalanche defeated on their way to the Cup was the Nashville Predators. They'll be opening the season against the San Jose Sharks on Friday, October 7 in Prague, Czech Republic. It's an unconventional way to get the year going, but let's make it a profitable one. Along with this same game parlay, be sure to check out our NHL analysis for the upcoming season.

Nashville Predators -1.5 (+135) over San Jose Sharks
This game originally opened with the Predators -160 on the money line, but has since significantly moved. It's for good reason, as the Preds look primed for another strong season. Neither team will have the home ice advantage, so there's no factor there. Nashville's exit in last year's postseason may have left fans with a sour taste in their mouth, but let's remember the circumstances.'
