Las Vegas Golden Knights vs. Nashville Predators
Tuesday, April 04, 2023 – 08:00 PM EDT at Bridgestone Arena
Vegas on Back-to-Back Night
Both the Golden Knights and Nashville Predators are on a back-to-back tonight, which makes this a very intriguing matchup as both teams facing are rarely both on a back-to-back scenario.
Las Vegas scrapped by the Minnesota Wild on penalties last night to go three points clear at the top of the Western Conference and Pacific Division.
Predators Thumped Last Night
Nashville travelled to neighbours Dallas last night, were they were thumped by five goals to one. The Predators continue to be their inconsistent unpredictable self this season.
They have won 50% of their previous 10 home games and gone 4-6 in their previous 10 games across both home and away fixtures.
Although not officially out of the playoff race, their chances of making it are currently around 3%.
The Pick
With both teams having played last night, this could be a game to target the unders, especially since both games seen 6 or more goals last night.
Overall these two teams combined only allow 5.6 goals per game, and whilst the Golden Knights score the 14th most goals in the league with 3.27 per game, opponents Nashville score only 2.7 goals per game (the 5th worst in the entire NHL).
Our computer predicts a 3-2 road win for the Golden Knights, we see a low-scoring affair and loving the under 6.0 goals here for -115 NHL odds, the push is worth laying the juice for.
Both teams are also ranked 4th and 5th in the Western Conference for the most amount of games to go under 6.5 goals and the Predators have seen just 11 of their 37 home games end on 7+ goals.
Score Prediction: Nashville Predators 2 – Las Vegas Golden Knights 3
NHL Pick: Under 6.0 Goals (-115) at FanDuel
Colorado Avalanche vs. San Jose Sharks
Tuesday, April 04, 2023 – 10:30 PM EDT at SAP Center
Colorado Win Can Put Them Joint Top of Division
The Colorado Avalanche can go level on points for joint top of the Central division with a win tonight, but they would have a huge advantage over rivals Minnesota and Dallas as they have played two games less.
The Avalanche come into this road game having gone 9-1 in their previous 10 and 12-3 in their previous 15. The Stanley Cup holders are starting to heat up as we head into the playoffs in a few weeks’ time.
San Jose on 3-0 Unbeaten Run
Despite the San Jose Sharks allowing the 3rd most amount of goals per game and battling it out for the worst team in the Western Conference, they have gone on an unlikely 3-0 winning run.
It’s not like they beat easy teams either. A 3-0 shutout win on home ice against Winnipeg was followed up with a 4-3 home overtime win against the Golden Knights, then they went and beat one of the best home teams in the league (Arizona Coyotes) 7-2.
The Pick
As good as the Sharks have been lately, they face a different beast tonight, the current Stanley Cup champions, who are on a tear right now ripping up the NHL and in with a chance to go top of the division.
A 3-0 Sharks teams isn’t going to stand in their way and we are more than happy to oppose this Sharks team to end their winning streak tonight as we agree with our OddsTrader’s precited score of 4-1 to the visitors.
The Sharks might be 2-0 on home ice in their past 2 games but have only won 8 of 38 across the entire season. Take the Avalanche to cover the spread in this one at +100.
Score Prediction: Colorado Avalanche 4 – San Jose 1
OddsTrader Pick: Colorado Avalanche -1.5 (+100) at Bet365
