Lightning vs Predators Key Stats
Tampa Bay has done well with more than 58 goals scored in 17 games, averaging over 3 goals per game this season.The partnership between Nikita Kucherov and Brayden Point has played a crucial role for the team, with the former leading with 25 goal involvements.
Their defense has not been at its best, conceding 53 goals in 17 games, thus providing no advantage to the offense. Goaltenders have done well individually with a save percentage of over 0.900 but have failed to make a desirable impact for the team. There is still a lot of work left for them to do for the rest of the season.
Nashville has scored an average of 2.7 goals per game this season. Filip Forsberg has played decently with a goal contribution per game on average and will have a huge role to play in this game. Other players will have to work better if they want better results from now on.
Their defense has conceded more than three goals per game. Even after having a save percentage of 0.9011, the goaltenders have failed to transform it into a positive result. They have to improve as a team and need to work on every aspect of their defense going into the game.

Tampa Bay are 4-1 in their last 5 when their opponents scored 5 goals or more in their previous game and are 4-1 in their last 5 games against teams from the Western Conference.
Nashville are 8-2 in their last 10 after scoring 5 goals or more in their previous game and have won 4 out of their last 5 home games.
