Nashville Has Been Picking Up Points
The Predators are 10-4-5 after Wednesday’s victory in Anaheim. They also beat Los Angeles 3-0 Tuesday, with Juuse Saros stopping all 30 shots. Nashville has been winning close games and getting strong work from its goaltenders. The Predators have been particularly good over the last couple of weeks.
Nashville entered Wednesday allowing 2.67 goals per game, sixth-best in the league at that point. The Predators’ power play was operating at 27.9%, while their penalty kill stood at 88.9%. Those are excellent special-teams numbers. Nashville has been getting enough offense to win without abandoning its defensive responsibilities.
Filip Forsberg entered Wednesday with seven goals, 15 assists and a team-leading 22 points. Roman Josi had 18 assists and 20 points, while Steven Stamkos led the team with ten goals. Saros was 6-3-4 with a 2.42 goals-against average and .918 save percentage before the Anaheim game. Jonathan Marchessault was out with a lower-body injury, and William Trudeau was also unavailable.

Vegas Has Been Winning at Home
The Golden Knights are 13-5-2 after Wednesday’s victory over Utah. They’ve won four straight, including a 4-1 victory over Buffalo Sunday and a 2-1 win against Detroit last Thursday. Vegas has been getting results with both offense and defense. The Golden Knights also beat Nashville 5-2 earlier this season.
Vegas entered Wednesday averaging 3.4 goals and allowing 2.65. The Golden Knights have been limiting opponents to around 25.5 shots a game, and their power play has been productive. The penalty kill has been less reliable, which could become a problem against Nashville’s strong power play.
Jack Eichel scored his ninth goal of the season against Utah Wednesday. Mitch Marner recorded his 18th and 19th assists, while Ivan Barbashev scored twice. Carter Hart started in goal. Noah Hanifin remained out with an undisclosed injury, but Parker Wotherspoon returned to the lineup after missing 13 games. That is an important correction from the earlier preview, which incorrectly treated Wotherspoon as still unavailable.
Nashville Predators vs Vegas Golden Knights Picks and Prediction
Pick: Vegas Golden Knights Moneyline
I like Vegas, but Nashville is going to make the Golden Knights work. The Predators have been defending well, and their power play is dangerous. That’s a real concern against a Vegas penalty kill that hasn’t been particularly strong. Still, the Golden Knights have been controlling play at even strength, they’re at home, and they’ve already beaten Nashville once. I’ll take Vegas, preferably at -145 or better.
Total Pick: Under 6.5 Goals
Both teams have been allowing fewer than three goals a night, and Nashville’s goaltending has been excellent. Vegas can play a tight defensive game, too. The power plays could push this higher, especially if the Golden Knights take too many penalties. But I don’t expect either team to get a ton of easy chances at even strength. I’ll take the under at 6.5 goals.
Final Picks: Vegas Golden Knights Moneyline (-145 or Better) and Under 6.5 Goals (Conditional)
