Both teams have great offenses and the upcoming game should reflect that with both forward units finding the back of the net throughout the game. The Predators, who average 3.37 goals per game, should constantly find the back of the net with Filip Forsberg, Gustav Nyquist, and the rest of the forward unit carrying the puck into the offensive zone and creating open shots with quick passes. The Jets, who have scored 20 goals in the last five games, should run up the score against the Predators, who allow 3.26 goals per game, with Kyle Connor, Cole Perfetti, Mason Appleton, and the rest of the forward unit crashing the net on the rush and creating open shots with effective puck movement while Josh Morrisey and Neal Pionk fire shots on the net from the blue line. The Over should cover in a high-scoring game controlled by both offenses.
Take the Over on 6 goals.
