He somehow kept the team in the game with a string of good stops, but the\u00a0super stagnant offense, which could only muster 23 shots for the whole contest, cancelled all of it out. Alex Steen, who&#8217;s mostly there for facilitating, but now has three goals and three assists in the playoffs, was the lone Blue to find the back of the net.<\/p>\n<p>Allen currently has the second-highest save percentage in the Stanley Cup\u00a0playoffs (.938), so it&#8217;s the offense that will obviously have to step up big time to avoid falling into a 3-1 hole in the series. They&#8217;re pretty equipped to do as such &#8211;\u00a0Vladimir Tarasenko and Jaden Schwartz are proven\u00a0scorers, and they join Steen in\u00a0leading the team in goals this postseason &#8211; so the team can still be trusted to bounce back.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting on the Nashville Predators (2-1)<\/h3>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/hockey\/nhl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Moneyline: -170<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Coming off their first loss of the postseason, the Predators responded well by comfortably cruising to a series-leading, 3-1 win. They showcased dynamic play on both ends\u00a0and it kept their home ice advantage intact.<\/p>\n<p>Veteran Cody McLeod, who joined the team midway in the season from the Colorado Avalanche, scored his fifth goal of the\u00a0season in the second period.\u00a0Defensemen Ryan Ellis and Ryan Josi\u00a0also had one score each &#8211; Ellis continues to pace the team in scoring in the playoffs, with eight\u00a0(three goals and five assists).<\/p>\n<p>The Preds&#8217; offense is performing well as of late. They have scored three or more goals in their last seven games, so expect them to be dangerous moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>As for the defense, Pekka Rinne has been doing his job very well. The 34-year-old leads\u00a0the charge on D, and he&#8217;s ahead of every goalie in save percentage this postseason (.950).<\/p>\n<p>With Game 4 still at being held at\u00a0home, Nashville&#8217;s in a prime position to capture another victory and have a good\u00a0control of the series, especially if St. Louis once again leaves Jake Allen with too much in his hands.<\/p>\n<h3>Writer\u2019s Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>The Blues (<a href=\"http:\/\/topbet.eu\/sportsbook\/hockey\/nhl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>+150<\/strong><\/a>) tie the series up with a thrilling,
