Nashville Predators Odds
Nashville are fourth in the Central Division with no chance of moving up, but they are in pole position to claim a Western Conference wild card slot.
Sunday’s 5-4 loss to Minnesota at this venue was the fourth occasion in eight outings they have been taken to overtime.
Filip Forsberg had a goal and two assists, while Mikael Granlund helped to set up three scores.
That result put the Predators a point above Dallas in the wild card race and four clear of Vegas.
Nashville coach John Hynes said: “There was a lot of emotion, a lot of special teams, a lot of momentum swings, but I thought our guys really battled hard.
“We earned a point. We’d like to get two points, but we’ve got to take some things out of it and get ready for Calgary.”
Forsberg has racked up eight points in five matches and 2.15 for him to light the lamp at any time here stands out from the NHL odds.
Calgary Flames Odds
Calgary are on an impressive 9-1-1 hot streak after picking up a couple of home wins, which will have been well received by our followers.
The Flames gave us a trio of successful selections when beating Dallas 4-2 and two more in a 6-3 victory over Vancouver.
Dillon Dube scored twice against the Canucks, while Elias Lindholm netted his 40th goal of the season and provided an assist.
Calgary have already wrapped up the Pacific Division title, leading Edmonton by 10 points, but don’t look ready to rest on their laurels.
“We want to keep going here and have a good feeling before the playoffs,” reported Lindholm.
“My first year here where we clinched early, it felt like we kind of slowed down a little bit before the playoffs started and it’s hard to turn it on again just like that.
“We’ve got to keep going and keep building our game and just create the good feeling before the playoffs.”
Lindholm can be backed at 13.0 to break the deadlock at Bridgestone Arena and 11.5 for the Flames to shade a 3-2 success this time completes our NHL predictions.
