Nashville Predators @ San Jose Sharks Preview

The Nashville Predators enter this game riding a four-game winning streak, including their historic comeback against the Sharks on Tuesday. Down 5-1 in the second period, the Predators scored six unanswered goals to secure a 7-5 victory. Filip Forsberg extended his goal streak to six games, while Jonathan Marchessault continued his hot streak with a goal and three assists, pushing his point streak to nine games.

San Jose, on the other hand, will look to bounce back after their collapse. The Sharks have struggled this season, sitting near the bottom of the standings with a 14-30-6 record. Goaltender Yaroslav Askarov, who has shown promise with a .913 save percentage in nine starts, is expected to start and will need to be sharp to contain Nashville's offense.

Key factors for this game include Nashville's ability to start strong and avoid the defensive lapses that plagued them early in Tuesday's game. The Sharks, playing with no pressure, could take risks and capitalize on any mistakes by the Predators. However, Nashville's superior talent and recent form make them the favorites in this matchup.

Pick: Nashville Predators -1.5 (+110, BetMGM)

The Predators have been in excellent form, winning four straight games and showing resilience in their comeback against the Sharks. With their offense firing on all cylinders and a strong defensive response expected, Nashville should cover the -1.5 spread. San Jose's inconsistency and defensive struggles make it difficult to trust them to keep this game close.

Top Player Prop Picks

1. Filip Forsberg Anytime Goal Scorer

Forsberg has scored in six consecutive games and is a key offensive weapon for the Predators. With his current form, he is a strong candidate to find the back of the net again.

2. Jonathan Marchessault Over 1.5 Points

Marchessault has been on fire, with a nine-game point streak and a three-point performance in the last game against the Sharks. Expect him to continue his production in this matchup.

3. Yaroslav Askarov Over 30.5 Saves

Askarov will likely face a high volume of shots from a Predators team that registered 41 shots in their last meeting. His .913 save percentage suggests he can handle the workload.
