The Predators have struggled in their last two games. They have scored nine goals and have conceded 12 goals in four games. They had a great start, but the offense has let them down in the last two games. Nino Niederreiter, who plays on the right wing, has done well with four goals in as many games. He has ten shots at a shooting percentage of 40%.
Goaltender Kevin Lankinen has done well with a shot shaving percentage of 93.9. He has conceded only two goals in 33 shots and was instrumental in his team's win in the first game.
Kings vs Predators Prediction
Nino Niederreiter has played well, averaging a point per game and will look to play a key role here too. The leaky defense of the Kings is likely to give him chances to better his average.
Both teams have won two games apiece, but the Predators are in better shape to win this one due to their better defense and steady attack. The Kings have done well in offense but their defense has loopholes, which could be costly.
The Predators should win this one with a complete team performance.
Pick: Nino Niederreiter, Points over 0.5 (+130)
Prediction: Take Predators, at spread (-1.5)
