Quick Turnaround for Both Sides

Predators Need to Bounce Back

The Nashville Predators are in a spot where they are only alive in the playoff race due strictly to the fact that there is a mathematical possibility that they are going to make it.

With six games remaining, NHL news shows that the Predators are five points behind Winnipeg for the final wild card in the Western Conference. Nashville would also have to hop over Calgary, which has a three-point lead over the Predators.

The Golden Knights have a three-point lead in the Pacific Division and have won back-to-back games. Vegas has been solid away from home, compiling a 25-7-6 record.

Vegas Atop Pacific

The Vegas Golden Knights have been a franchise that figures in the NHL playoff odds every season since they’ve come into the league in 2017.

What makes this Vegas team special is that the Golden Knights NHL lines seldom fluctuate based on which Netminder plays. The Golden Knights have had three different goalies make starts in the net.

Laurent Brossoit has made a number of starts recently, compiling a 4-0-1 record with a .918 save percentage. There is a strong consensus that Brossoit may be counted on in the playoffs after missing most of March with a lower-body injury. Vegas also has been good in front of whoever is in the net, only allowing 2.82 goals per game.

The Golden Knights have seen three of their past four games go over the total. Vegas is coming off a shootout win over Minnesota Monday night.

Predators: Little Margin of Error

The Nashville Predators didn’t have much room to make mistakes when they went to Dallas on Monday night. Taking a 5-1 loss made it difficult for even the most optimistic bettor to make NHL picks on the Predators stealing a wild card spot. Nashville has had a hard time generating offense, scoring only 2.72 goals per game.

The Predators haven’t made up for that at the defensive end. Teams are scoring 2.87 goals per game against the Predators.

Over the past five games, Nashville has seen the under go 3-1-1. During the past four games where the Predators were underdogs, Nashville has only come away with two wins.

Juuse Saros has made a majority of the starts in net for Nashville. He has been solid overall. Anyone doing sports betting online will see that Saros ranks 10th in the league with a .916 save percentage and is 18th in goals-against average with a mark of 2.76.
