The Nashville Predators and the Calgary Flames meet in NHL action from the Scotiabank Saddledome on Thursday night.

The Nashville Predators will look to rebound from a 7-4 loss at the hands of the Edmonton Oilers in their last game. Filip Forsberg has a team-high 10 points with 3 goals and 7 assists while Mikael Granlund has 9 points with a team-high 8 assists and Matt Duchene has 9 points with 7 assists on the year. Nino Niederreiter’s also chipped in a team-high 5 goals while Ryan Johansen has 4 goals as well on the year. Juuse Saros has gone 2-5-1 with a 3.17 GAA and an .898 save percentage between the pipes for Nashville while Kevin Lankinen is 1-1 with a 3.05 GAA and a .919 save percentage.

The Calgary Flames will be out to bounce back after a 5-4 loss to the Seattle Kraken in their last game. Nazem Kadri has a team-high 10 points with a team-high 5 goals and 5 assists while Rasmus Andersson has 7 points with a team-high 6 assists. Tyler Toffoli also has 7 points with 4 goals and 3 assists on the year. Jacob Markstrom’s gone 4-1 with a 2.60 GAA and a .903 save percentage while Dan Vladar is 1-2 with a 3.82 GAA and an .865 save percentage between the pipes for Calgary this season.

Nashville is 1-6 in their last 7 road games and 7-19 in their last 26 games overall while the over is 36-15-1 in their last 52 road games. Calgary is 29-14 in their last 43 home games and 6-0 in their last 6 games against a team with a winning percentage below .400 while the over is 7-3-2 in their last 12 games against the Western Conference.

I get the case to be made on either side here, but I was really burned by Calgary in that horrendous collapse against Seattle and they’re on my fade list for the foreseeable future after that. Nashville has not been good at all since sweeping the Sharks in Europe to start the year, but they have a history of hanging around Calgary as the last six meetings have all been decided by one goal. I’ll take Nashville +1.5, you’ll have to lay a bit of juice here, but it’s a solid play with a strong sample size behind it.
