St. Louis Blues vs. Nashville Predators
Thursday, April 04, 2024 – 08:00 PM ET at Bridgestone Arena 
Betting Trends
- The Nashville Predators have seen the 3rd most amount of home games go over 1.5 first-period goals this season.
- On the road, the St. Louis Blues have seen the most goals over 1.5 in the first period this season going 25-12 to the over.
Two First Period Juggernauts
Both the Nashville Predators and St Louis Blues are first-period over teams, with strong records both home and away. This is an intriguing matchup as both teams are vying for the playoffs, with two positions and six points separating both teams in the Western Conference.
Not only against other teams have these two teams seen 2+ first-period goals a lot this season but recent meetings have seen 2/4/2/0/0/2/2/4/4/2 first-period goals scored.
The Pick
We expect a feisty start to this game. Both teams will get plenty of chances early, and given the fact recent history has averaged 2.2 goals on average in the first period, we are happy to lay the -120 odds on this game going over 1.5 first-period goals.
NHL Pick: Over 1.5 1P Goals (-120) at Bet365
