Terms & Conditions Golden Knights hope their offense rebounds
The Golden Knights are having a great season with their offense leading the way, scoring 3.17 goals per game but the offense has fallen flat lately with back-to-back shutouts. Jack Eichel and Mitch Marner have scored 43 goals and 100 assists but the rest of the offense has struggled, and the hope is that the depth steps up to allow them to rebound.
The offense has struggled lately but the defense has let them down all season, allowing 3.03 goals per game. Shea Theodore and Kaedan Korczak have combined for 7.9 defensive point shares but the rest of the unit has struggled, allowing opponents to control the puck in the high-danger areas and get good looks on the net. The bright spot is the play of goaltender Adin Hill, who has allowed only eight goals in his last five starts. 
Key injury report for Golden Knights No key injuries to report. Nashville has played great defense lately
The Predators are having a rocky season with their offense struggling and scoring only 2.91 goals per game. Ryan O’Reilly and Filip Forsberg have scored 53 goals and 67 assists but the rest of the unit has struggled. Only six active forwards have 10 goals or more, and opponents can limit the offense with ease.
The offense has struggled but the defense has stepped up as of late, allowing only four goals in the last two games. Brady Skjei and Nicolas Hague have combined for 5.2 defensive point shares while Roman Josi and Nicklaus Perbix have stepped up to add depth to the unit. Additionally, goaltender Juuse Saros has been great lately, allowing only eight goals in the last three starts. 
Key injury report for Predators Samuel Girard is day-to-day. Golden Knights vs Predators PickMoney Line Pick For Golden Knights vs Predators Predators (+110) (4 units)
The Golden Knights are the better team but they’ve struggled lately, and I see the Predators stepping up and taking over this game. The Predators should pile on the goals against the Golden Knights, who allow 3.03 goals per game, with Filip Forsberg, Ryan O’Reilly, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone while creating open shots with quick passes. The Predators should limit the Golden Knights offense with Brady Skjei, Nicolas Hague, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Juuse Saros to make plenty of big saves. The Predators should win the game with a strong performance on their home ice.
Take the Predators money line as home Underdogs.
Over/Under Pick For Golden Knights vs Predators
The Predators are playing great defense lately, and I see this game being a low-scoring one from the opening puck drop. The Golden Knights should limit the Predators offense, which averages only 2.91 goals per game, with Shea Theodore and Kaedan Korczak creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Adin Hill to make plenty of big saves. The Predators, who have allowed only four goals in the last two games, should eliminate the Golden Knights offense, which has been shut out in back-to-back games, with Brady Skjei, Nicolas Hague, Roman Josi, and the rest of the defensive unit creating turnovers in the defensive zone while limiting shots on the net, allowing goaltender Juuse Saros to make plenty of big saves. The Under should cover in a low-scoring game with both defenses stepping up.
Take the Under on 6 goals.
