Vancouver Canucks @ Nashville Predators Preview

The Vancouver Canucks enter this matchup with a 23-24-4 record, sitting just outside the playoff picture. They are riding a two-game win streak, including a 5-2 victory over the St. Louis Blues on Monday. Conor Garland has been a standout performer, contributing two goals in the last game and leading the team in ice time among forwards. The Canucks' offense has been inconsistent, with a top-heavy lineup, while their defense has struggled to contain opponents. Goaltender Kevin Lankinen has been a bright spot with solid performances in net.

The Nashville Predators, with an 18-23-7 record, are second-worst in the Central Division. Despite their struggles, they have won five of their last six games, averaging 4.83 goals per game during that stretch. Filip Forsberg has been a key contributor, tallying 14 points in the last six games. However, the Predators' defense has been a concern, allowing 15 goals in their last three games. Goaltender Juuse Saros has had an up-and-down season, with a .899 save percentage and a 2.88 goals-against average.

Historic Head-to-Head Stats and Analysis

The Predators hold a 37-42-(2)-7 all-time record against the Canucks, including a 19-18-(1)-6 record at Bridgestone Arena. In their last five meetings, the Predators are 2-3-0, and they are 5-4-1 in their last 10 matchups. Notably, the Canucks swept the Predators in their three meetings during the 2023-24 season, outscoring them 13-6.

Pick: Over 5.5 Total Goals

widget-odds-nhl-ou-5179-VAN-NAS

Both teams have shown defensive vulnerabilities, with the Predators allowing 3.21 goals per game and the Canucks conceding 4.4 goals per game in recent matchups. Additionally, Nashville has averaged 4.83 goals per game in their last six contests, while Vancouver has seen the total go over in four of their last five games. With both teams struggling defensively and capable of offensive bursts, the over 5.5 total goals at -118 (FanDuel) is a strong pick.

Top Player Prop Picks

Filip Forsberg Over 0.5 Points

widget-props-nhl-5179-1932617

Forsberg has been on fire recently, recording 14 points (7 goals, 7 assists) in his last six games. He is a key offensive driver for the Predators and should continue his strong form against a Canucks defense that has struggled to contain top players.

Conor Garland Over 0.5 Points

widget-props-nhl-5179-1932584

Garland has been a consistent performer for the Canucks, with 33 points this season. He is coming off a two-goal performance and has been heavily involved in Vancouver's offense, making him a solid pick to register a point.

Juuse Saros Under 29.5 Saves

Saros has faced challenges recently, with a .899 save percentage and a 2.88 goals-against average. The Canucks have not been generating high shot volumes, averaging 22 shots in back-to-back games this season, which could limit Saros' save opportunities.
