NHL odds show that Dan Ellis has the goaltending job in Nashville now. He split time with Mason last season but the job is all his now. Ellis played well against Detroit in the playoffs and has the number one job over Pekka Rinne who is 45-25 in his AHL career according to NHL odds stats.

Nashville has a solid defense corps led by Dan Hamhuis, Shea Webber, and Ryan Suter. Also on the blueline are Greg de Vries and Greg Zanon according to NHL odds information. Upfront the Predators are led by J.P. Dumont and Jason Arnott according to NHL betting odds information. Neither is a potent scorer but on a team like Nashville they were enough.

Nashville has some depth with Jordin Tootoo, Martin Erat, and Vernon Fiddler according to NHL odds information. Nashville continually plays solid defense and finds just enough scoring to win games. Ellis is nothing special in goal but somehow the Predators win games.

Looking at the lineup it is hard to see how Nashville does it every night versus the NHL odds. Head coach Barry Trotz has done wonders in Nashville. The team is always competitive in NHL betting odds and they are underdogs a lot of the time. Considering that Nashville has continually surprised experts that bet NHL odds, it might be a good idea not to underestimate them this season.
