Nashville Predators at Vancouver Canucks

The Nashville Predators and Vancouver Canucks face off on Saturday in an NHL showdown at the Rogers Arena. When these two teams faced off in February it was Nashville that secured the 4-2 victory. 

The Predators come into this game with a 4-6-1 record overall but they are coming off a victory in the last game. The Predators defense gave up only one goal to the Calgary Flames, and that was enough to secure the three-goal victory. Filip Forsberg is having a big season scoring one goal and one an assist. The Predators are averaging 2.73 goals per game while their defense is giving up 3.27 goals per game. The offense is ranked 26th in the league and will need to be better here. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Vancouver Canucks who sit with a 3-6-2 record overall and they are coming off a big win in the last game. The offense scored eight goals against the Anaheim Ducks, and that was enough to secure the three-goal victory. Elias Petterson had a big game finishing with one goal and adding four assists. Andrei Kuzmenko also scored three goals and added an assist. Vancouver as a team is averaging 3.46 goals per game while their defense is giving up 4.09 goals per game. The offense is ranked 10th in the league and will need to be good here. 

The Canucks are 5-1 in their last 6 home games against a team with a losing road record. The over is 5-0-1 in the Canucks last six games against the Central. The under is 4-0 in the Predators last four games following a win. The under is 3-0-1 in the Predators last four games on Saturday. 

Both of these teams have struggled this season, but I think the Canucks will get the job done here. Vancouver has the better offensive team and they are averaging 3.46 goals per game. The Predators are averaging 2.73 goals per game and they are going to struggle to score here. Back the Canucks on the money line to cash here with ease.
