The 9-5-3 Pittsburgh Penguins and the 5-9-4 Nashville Predators will face off in Sweden this afternoon at 2:00 p.m. EST. The Penguins have lost two straight, are due for a win, and should come out on top in this one. Simply put, the Predators are not a very good hockey team. They have lost five straight, are averaging just 2.56 tallies per game and allowing an average of 3.61. On the flip side, Crosby and company are averaging 3.35 goals per game and allowing a stingy 2.65 goals per game.
