Saturday, April 20th, brings you game five of the Western Conference Quarterfinals matchup between the Dallas Stars and the Nashville Predators. Dallas evened up the series in game four, and look to really put the pressure on Nashville as the action continues in game six in Dallas.
Dallas Stars
The Stars had game four wrapped up halfway through the first period when they beat Nashville on home ice for the first time this season. They kept up the same offensive pressures of game three, and chased Pekka Rinne before the first intermission.

Stars goalie Ben Bishop had a return to form after his game three performance, stopping 34 of the 35 shots he faced, and didn’t fold until 8:11 of the third period. If we see this Bishop again on Saturday, this series is all but over.
Injury Report: C Mattias Janmark is “questionable” for Saturday afternoon while C Martin Hanzal and Defensemen Marc Methot and Stephen Johns are all listed as “out” for the Stars.
Nashville Predators
After going up 2-1 in game three in Dallas, it looked like Nashville finally had a strangle hold on this series, and then the puck dropped. It was just bad, and with how big of a game Rinne had in game three, it was utterly unexpected.

Dallas had been relentless all series long, but Rinne had an answer for nearly all of their offensive outbursts. He was chased after giving up four goals on 8 shots. Yes, that was a correct statement. Just an unacceptable outing for the world class goaltender.
Injury Report: C Brian Boyle and RW Wayne Simmonds are both listed as “out” for Saturday.

Free Dallas Stars vs. Nashville Predators NHL Prediction:
The headlines of games three and four were all about the goaltenders of these two teams, and I don’t think that will change at all on Saturday afternoon. A outing like the one Rinne had in game three is very hard to put behind you, especially when it happens on national TV in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
4* Free NHL Playoff Betting Pick: UNDER the number
I fully expect the Predators to bounce back and win this game while their backs are up against the wall, so I will only advise taking the Under in this one.
