Golden Knights vs. Predators Odds, Picks, Predictions: Hit the Under in Nashville

The slumping VegasGolden Knights visit the Nashville Predators on Tuesday. Read on for our best GoldenKnights vs. Predators pick based on topodds.

Losers of fourstraight games head into the All-Star break, the Golden Knights have dipped to third place in the Pacific Division. Vegas does have an impressive15-5-4 road record, but has fallen on hard times since captainMark Stone underwent back surgery.

The NashvillePredators had plenty of momentum going into the break, winning threestraight games overall and five in a row at home.

Here is our best GoldenKnights vs. Predators NHL pick (odds via DraftKings Sportsbook;pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

Golden Knights vs. Predators pick

Under 6 (-115 via DraftKings) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The GoldenKnights are reeling with justone win in its last eight games before the All-Star break. That victory, at homeagainst Washington, was the only time in the last 10 games that the GoldenKnights have hit a total of more than six goals.

Stone last playedJan. 12; since then, the Golden Knights are tied for 30th with1.97 goals per 60 minutes and No. 1 center Jack Eichel has just one point in eight games.

Vegas is, however, gettinghealthier on defense. Shea Theodore returned for a couple of games before thebreak and Zach Whitecloud is expected to make his return to action Tuesdaynight.

Goals might still be hard to generate, but a healthy blueline corpsshould help Vegas keep it a lower scoring game.

Preds goaltenderJuuse Saros has been excellent on home ice. In 22 starts at Bridgestone Arena,Saros has a .923 save percentage and 16.83 goals saved above expected. Thatranks eighth and third, respectively, among 44 goaltenders that have played atleast 500 home minutes.

Overall, Nashvilleaverages 5.66 goals for plus against per 60 minutes, the second-lowest averagein the league.

Going against a Vegasteam that is struggling to generate offense, this game offers solid Under potential.

Golden Knights vs. Predators best odds

DraftKings (-115) 

Most of our top-ratedsportsbooks have the Under priced at -120, though PointsBet has Under priced at -125.

DraftKings has veeredthe other way, with the Under at -115, making it the first choice for makingthis wager. In a league that typically averages six goals per game, it is better to grab the total at six and lay some juice than to waitfor the line to shift to 5.5, which is always possible once the price goes beyond -120.
