Predators vs Golden Knights Key Stats

Nashville could not score enough goals with just 81 goals in 33 games this season. All the effort has come from the likes of Matt Duchene and Nino Niederreiteronly players to have goals and assists in double digits. The team needs more involvement from different players to have a better positive effect upfront.

The defense has done well to keep the average of goals conceded to less than three. The goaltenders have played a big part in it and will need similar performances from them to have an edge in every encounter in the season ahead.

Vegas has over 120 goals this season with the likes of Jack Eichel and Reilly Smith contributing greatly with 30 goals in between. The overall team strength and players' involvement has kept the flow of goals making the offense well-settled for future games.

Vegas' defense has been decent, with the goaltenders doing their job with saves taking their percentage to over 0.910. The team looks overall very much settled in defense and should not be much concerned regarding it.

Predators vs Golden Knights Betting Prediction

The game is interesting but seems to be a comfortable one for Vegas, given their home record and overall team strength. They have a cent percent record in their last five encounters against teams from the Central division, providing them with additional strength in this game.

Despite the Predators coming here with a great win in their last outing, a poor away record, and inconsistent offense and defense puts them under the bus in this game. They have lost games against Vegas and are likely to find it difficult again to break the opposition in the game.
