Predators vs Canucks Best Picks and Prediction
Following a significant victory, the Predators aim to completely dominate the Canucks on both sides of the ice.
With Matt Duchene, Filip Forsberg, and the rest of the forward group establishing a strong offensive zone presence and creating open shots with great puck movement, the Predators will look to build off a four-goal game and consistently find the back of the net to overwhelm a Canucks defense that is allowing 4.09 goals per game.
Pick: Predators ML (+100)
