Anaheim is on a five-game losing streak, but still favored at home over a desperate Nashville squad<\/p>\n

The over has cashed in each of the Ducks\u2019 last four games and all four of their last four at Honda Center<\/p>\n

See my Predators vs Ducks picks, predictions, odds and player props for Tuesday night at Honda Center<\/p>\n

Anaheim (87 points) sits second in the Pacific but is in free fall, having dropped five straight games. The Ducks are still without leading scorer Cutter Gauthier (38 goals) and have a banged-up bottom six, forcing Joel Quenneville to lean on rookies Beckett Sennecke and the Leo Carlsson line.<\/p>\n

Nashville (82 points) is clinging to the third wild card spot in the NHL playoff bracket<\/a> and is desperate for points. The Predators are 3-1 as a road underdog over their last four. <\/p>\n

Puck drop is at 10:00 pm ET. My Predators vs Ducks picks and predictions are below.<\/p>\n

Betslip #1775606352464-481c-834<\/p>\n

The over is the play for my Predators vs Ducks prediction. It\u2019s hit in all four of Anaheim\u2019s last four games, all four of their last four at home, and six of their last seven as a favorite. Both teams are allowing more than three goals per game, and neither projected starter sits above .900.<\/p>\n

Justus Annunen (.897 SV%, 2.90 GAA) goes for Nashville and Lukas Dostal (.890 SV%, 3.09 GAA) gets the call for Anaheim. Two sub-.900 netminders against two offenses pushing the pace down the stretch is the perfect recipe for a high-scoring night.<\/p>\n

Predators vs Ducks Key Stats<\/p>\n

Nashville\u2019s power play is the biggest mismatch, clicking at 22.8% against an Anaheim penalty kill at 77.3%. The Preds also win the faceoff battle (50.5% to 47.6%). Anaheim fires 30.51 shots per game, which is exactly the kind of volume that fuels overs.<\/p>\n

Predators vs Ducks Player Props<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve got two shot volume plays from the home side, and one fade on a Nashville star for my Predators vs Ducks player props.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m starting my Predators vs Ducks player props with John Carlson to go over his shots on goal total. Carlson has cleared 2.5 shots in five of his last six games, averaging 3.67 per contest in that stretch. <\/p>\n

He runs the Ducks\u2019 top power play unit and should see plenty of even-strength looks too against a Nashville team that\u2019s been pushing the pace.<\/p>\n

Terry has cleared 2.5 shots in four of his last five home games, averaging 3.6 per contest at Honda Center. He skates on the second line and gets first-unit power play minutes. <\/p>\n

Even money on a player hitting this 80% of the time at home is great value.<\/p>\n

Wrapping up my Predators vs Ducks player props, I like Filip Forsberg to stay under his shots total. Forsberg has stayed under 3.5 shots in six straight games against bottom-10 scoring defenses, averaging just 2.83 per game in that sample. <\/p>\n

The juice is steep at -172, but a 100% trend on a clean situational fit is worth it.<\/p>\n

Predators vs Ducks Odds<\/p>\n

The interactive widget above will update automatically as the Predators vs Ducks odds<\/a> move throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Anaheim is the home favorite despite their five-game slide, with Nashville sitting around +128 on the moneyline. <\/p>\n

The total is at 6.5 with the over juiced to -120. The Ducks\u2019 recent slide makes the Nashville underdog price interesting if you believe the Preds can play spoiler.<\/p>\n
