On Thursday night, the Vancouver Canucks head to Nashville, Tennessee to take on the Predators at Bridgestone Arena. When these teams last met back in December, Nashville squeezed out an overtime win 4-3.
Vancouver Canucks
Sitting 5th in the Pacific Division with just two games remaining, the Canucks’ playoff hopes are all but dashed. It’s been a rough year for Vancouver, and not even a recent three-game winning streak can alleviate the problems that have plagued this team.
Frankly, the Canucks just haven’t been good enough in any aspect to truly compete with the top-tier teams. The offense has struggled, averaging just 2.69 goals per game. That puts the team 23rd in the NHL — not exactly a recipe for success this year.

The defense, while slightly better, remains an issue as well. At 19th in the league, Vancouver gives up 3.04 goals per game, and that lackluster defense will be an issue against the Predators on Thursday.
Nashville Predators
Nashville’s looking to finish the regular season strong, and has done so with three wins in the last four games. With two games left, it’s doubtful that this team will take the foot off the gas now, especially with such a winnable game on the horizon.
You have to give it up for the Preds’ defense. It’s been one of the best all season long, giving up just 2.6 goals per game. That’s good enough for 4th in the NHL. Having such a strong defense has helped hide some of Nashville’s problems on the other end of the ice.

Offense hasn’t been this team’s strong suit in 2019. Nashville ranks 19th in the league in goals, averaging just 2.85 per game. The team has great scorers, especially Viktor Arvidsson (33 goals) and Filip Forsberg (27 goals), but most of the team struggles to score consistently.

Free Vancouver Canucks vs. Nashville Predators NHL Prediction:
Despite the three-game winning streak, this Vancouver team just isn’t that good. However, the Predators are, and they’ll definitely have an advantage at home. Nashville gets a two-goal win in this one.
4* Free NHL Betting Pick: OVER
Vancouver won’t put up a lot of goals in this one, but I think Nashville has what it takes to exploit this mediocre defense. With the line at 5.5, I’ll take the over, mostly due to Vancouver’s struggles.
