One of the better series of the playoffs so far continues on Sunday when the Nashville Predators attempt to win their first ever playoff series – at home. The Preds went into Game 5 with a struggling Pekka Rinne and without one of their best offensive weapons injured. But they defied the NHL Odds and they fought their way to an impressive victory.

Now it is up to the Anaheim Ducks to get back on track and to try to extend this series. It is hard to believe it but Corey Perry, Ryan Getzlaf and Teemu Selanne went pointless in Game 5 and they almost won. Anaheim is still an explosive offense – they have scored 17 goals in the last four games of the series.

Ray Emery has looked shaky at times in the series but he is clearly the best option for the Ducks right now.

Nashville surprised me in Game 5 – I thought that the combination of Martin Erat’s injury and Pekka Rinne’s struggles would be too much to overcome. But this lunch bucket team and I stress team, keeps getting it done.

Despite being the lowest scoring team to qualify for the playoffs, the Predators have come alive offensively in the postseason. They have scored 14 goals in the last four games of the series and it seems that everyone is contributing.

Pekka Rinne is long overdue for a great game – the problem is that we have been saying that all series long and it hasn’t happened yet. He is mired in a completely average streak and he can’t break out of it.

NHL Betting Trends:
Over is 15-5-1 in ANA last 21 overall.
ANA are 13-5 in their last 18 road games.
ANA are 17-8 in their last 25 overall.
Over is 12-4-5 in NAS last 21 vs. Pacific.
NAS are 11-4 in their last 15 home games.
NAS are 12-5 in their last 17 overall.
Over is 6-0-2 in the last 8 meetings.

Betting Prediction: This series has seven game written all over it. Just when you expect that one team will start dominating the series, the other team turns it around and comes up with a victory. Expect more of the same on Sunday – its Anaheim’s turn to shine.

Note – the Over is 6-0-2 in the last eight games between the two teams.

Pick: Anaheim Ducks +125 and the Over – 5.5 goals
