Predators vs Wild Prediction
The Wild were 2-1 in their three meetings against the Preds last season, winning both games in Minnesota by 5-3 and 3-2 in OT. They are 3-1 in their last 4 meetings and over is 7-2 in their last 9 meetings.
In this Predators vs Wild Prediction, the Wild are coming as -210 home favorites. This line makes no sense, as the Wild are being such huge favorites having one win less than the Preds. Both teams are struggling lately, as they are 1-5 and 1-4 in their last 6 and 5 games respectively and the Wild have a weaker defense and a terrible penalty kill. Nashville also has the advantage between the pipes, as Saros has been sharper than Gustavsson so far, so I like them to keep this one close. Take the Nashville Predators by +1.5 goals in this one.
