LiontipsVegas vs Nashville. Prediction and Betting Tips for NHL (January 5, 2022).
Command Analysis
Recently, Vegas often lost points at their home court. The Golden Knights confidently beat Anaheim (3:1), having shown excellent defensive play. Vegas allowed the Ducks to take only 16 shots on goal. But the VGK failed to build on that success and suffered a defeat to Winnipeg in overtime (4:5 OT). The Knights' goalie Brossoit wasn't very reliable against the Jets and saved only 86% of the shots.
Nashville didn't look great in their last three away games. The Predators prevailed over Chicago (3:2 ОТ), but lost to Washington (3:5) and Columbus (3:4 SO). In the match against the Capitals, the Preds' goalie Saros stopped only 88% of the shots. Back at home, Nashville bounced back and recorded a confident victory over Chicago (6:1).
