Predators vs Ducks Key Stats

Nashville have a poor offense and could only score 81 goals in 33 games this season. Most of the chances were created and finished by players like Matt Duchene and Nino Niederreiter, with both scoring 10 goals and having 16 assists each. The team needs more from the rest of the players to create anything positive upfront.

The defense has done well to keep the goals conceded with goaltenders playing a big part in it. The team will need similar performances from them and the defensive unit to have an edge in every encounter.

Anaheim's poor offense has affected the team a lot, proving costly for them. Only three players have goals in the double digits, with Troy Terry leading the charts with 12 goals and 19 assists to his name. The team needs positive changes to bring in other players into the mix and improve their scoring rate.

The defense has conceded over four goals per game this season, which has badly affected the morale of the team. The goaltenders have failed to make enough saves, and with no support from the back line, they have struggled. The team needs changes in the defensive setup for the games to come.

Predators vs Ducks Betting Prediction

The game is very interesting as Anaheim come with a great win against a strong team and will be playing at home, adding more to their strength. But the poor and inconsistent defensive setup puts them under the bus.

Even after losing their last two games, Nashville are in a better position due to their better defensive performances, keeping the margin of loss to a single goal. They have a fine offense and will get enough opportunities to score a good number of goals and win this tie.
