The Penguins need to find some offense if they want to have any chance of cashing out at a +124 underdog in this one. Despite all their talent, the Penguins have netted just four goals total in the last three games. Evgeni Malkin being out indefinitely with an upper body injury definitely doesn’t help those scoring woes.
Matt Murray may have to be superior in net if he doesn’t get much scoring support. Murray has allowed 2 goals or less in 4 of his last 7.
Nashville Predators
The Preds have won three straight as they shoot for the Central division crown. The Jets still hold a 3 point lead, but Nashville is 5-2 their last 7 home games while the Penguins have dropped 2 of 3 on the road.

Pekka Rinne is coming off a shutout vs. the Maple Leafs and allowed just 1 goal to the Kings in his start prior. He has given up 5 goals to Colorado and 4 to Minnesota in 2 of his last 4 home starts so nothing is for certain in net for Nashville on Thursday.
NHL Betting Trends:
- Penguins are 1-4 their last 5 vs. Western Conference
- Penguins are 2-6 their last 8 as a road underdog
- Predators are 5-2 their last 7 overall

4* Free NHL Betting Pick: Nashville PL
the Predators are shooting for a division title while Pittsburgh is fighting for nothing but seeding at this point. The Penguins offense looks like it’s in a rut and that will only be more noticeable with Malkin out of the lineup Thursday.
