Hockey Club vs Predators Prediction
The Predators did snag a nice overtime win over the Islanders, but they’ve benefited from free-falling outside of that performance and have nothing to play for right now. The Predators also have just nine road wins this season. The Utah Hockey Club are in a similar situation, given they’ve been bounced from the playoff conversation, but they’re still playing hard with wins in four of their last five games. I’m sure they’ll want to snag a win in their last home game. It’s all about building good habits for the newest team in the NHL. Give me Utah and the PL for max betting value.
