Predators Trying to Find Consistency on the Road
The Nashville Predators come into this matchup with a 29-28-9 record and a 12-15-6 mark on the road. They have had mixed results recently, recently winning over the Seattle Kraken and Boston Bruins while recently losing to the Edmonton Oilers, Vancouver Canucks, and Buffalo Sabres. This inconsistency has made it difficult for them to gain traction.
The Predators are averaging 2.91 goals per game while allowing 3.39, taking 28.3 shots per game and allowing 29.3. Their power play has produced 43 goals with a 22.2% success rate, and their penalty kill sits at 80.6%.
What stands out for Nashville is their offensive upside on special teams, but their defensive struggles have been a major issue. Allowing over three goals per game puts pressure on their offense to keep up.

They have been playing better recently, recently winning over the St. Louis Blues, Colorado Avalanche, and Vancouver Canucks while recently losing to the New York Rangers and Anaheim Ducks. This recent stretch shows improved play, especially on home ice.

Winnipeg’s strength has been their ability to play structured hockey at home and keep games close. They have been more disciplined defensively compared to Nashville, which could be a key factor in this matchup.
Nashville Predators vs Winnipeg Jets Pick
Nashville Predators vs Winnipeg Jets Pick
- Winnipeg Jets Moneyline (-135)
Winnipeg has the edge at home and has been more consistent defensively compared to Nashville. While the Predators can score, their defensive issues make it difficult to trust them in this spot. The Jets should be able to control the pace and secure the win.
Nashville Predators vs Winnipeg Jets Total Pick
- Under 5.5
I like the under in this matchup because both teams tend to play tighter, lower-scoring games, especially Winnipeg at home. With Nashville struggling offensively at times and Winnipeg focusing on structure, this game sets up for a lower total.
Final Score Prediction: Winnipeg Jets 3, Nashville Predators 2
