Vegas Golden Knights vs. Nashville Predators Betting Preview
Vegas Golden Knights
A quick look at the Vegas Golden Knights stats will show you that this team has been playing in a ton of close matchups all season long. The Golden Knights are scoring 3.08 goals per game, but they are also giving up nearly 2.9 goals per game on the other end of the ice.
The NHL injury report looks pretty clean for Vegas, and that will allow them to have all of their better players on the ice in this game. Vegas will be trying to speed up the tempo in this one, as they are the better offensive team overall.
Chandler Stephenson has been the most impressive player for Vegas when looking at the NHL player stats, as he leads the team with 33 assists and 44 total points. Vegas doesn’t really have anyone on their team that has been scoring a ton of goals, but they do it as a team.
The Golden Knights have lost four straight games, and that will have them playing some desperate hockey in what will be one of the most interesting NHL matchups of the day.
Nashville Predators
The Nashville Predators schedule has been pretty light over the last few weeks, and it has allowed them to make a nice little run. Nashville comes into this game having won four of their last five, and that includes three straight wins.
The NHL stats for the Predators show that they actually have a negative goal differential this season, but that number has improved after a very slow start to the year. Nashville is scoring just 2.79 goals per game while giving up 2.81 goals on the other end of the ice.
Filip Forsberg comes into this game with 19 goals and 41 total points to lead the Predators, and Roman Josi has a team-high 29 assists. Nashville has scored on the power play just 17 percent of the time, and that has to improve as the season moves along.
Vegas Golden Knights vs. Nashville Predators Betting Picks
There are many ways to make NHL picks for a game, but two options should really stand out in this matchup. If you are going to make Golden Knights vs Predators picks, then you need to focus on the moneyline and also the over/under.
