LiontipsToronto vs Nashville. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (November 17, 2021).
Command Analysis
Toronto are 5th in the East with 21 points from 16 games. The Maple Leafs had a poor start to the season, and their main star, Auston Matthews, was sidelined through an injury and couldn't pick form for some time after his return to the ranks. But now, it seems, all the setbacks are in the past.
The Leafs suffered only one defeat in the last nine games, to Los Angeles (1:5). They made a quick recovery and mounted a winning streak of three games - against Philadelphia (3:0), Calgary (2:1 ОТ), and Buffalo (5:4).
Nashiville are 6th in the Western Conference and have chalked up 19 points. Currently the Predators are on a string of three victories. The Preds beat Dallas (4:2) and St. Louis (4:3 ОТ) away, and at home they got a landslide victory against Arizona (4:1).
Nashville are showing solid performance away, averaging 3 goals per game. They lost only two away games in regulation. Just like last season, the top scorers for the Preds are Duchene, Josi, and Granlund, who earned 16 points each.
