Nashville - Vegas: NHL match betting tip and bets

Current form

Nashville has begun to recover from the recession, but the team is still showing unstable results. They managed to break the series of defeats in a duel with a very serious opponent in the person of Toronto, defeating him with a score of 5:2, which came as a big surprise to many. It might have seemed that such a confident victory would help the club regain confidence in its abilities, but in the next match it had to concede to St. Louis (1-4). Goalkeeper Annunen showed his worst side, reflecting only 85% of shots.

After another setback, the team went to visit Carolina, where they again unexpectedly achieved success (3:1). Saros defended the goal, playing much more reliably than his teammate and deflecting 33 shots out of 34, which allowed him to succeed. Returning to the home arena, the Predators were supposed to take revenge on the Blues, but the opponent made a comeback, and as a result had to concede in regular time (2:3). With such an unstable game, the club may not be able to qualify for the playoffs. It is worth saying that there are very few chances for this outcome, the gap from the eighth position is already 23 points.

Yossi, Lauzon, and Wilsbee remain in the infirmary.

Current form

Vegas has gained amazing form, thanks to which it leaves no chance for its opponents, and the winning streak has already reached five matches in a row, all of which ended in regular time. The Golden Knights completed their home series perfectly, defeating an opponent of their level in the face of Tampa Bay (4:2). Goalkeeper Samsonov made a huge contribution to the success, deflecting 35 shots out of 37, which avoided additional problems. Next, the knights went to visit Minnesota, where they took advantage of its poor form, defeating it with a score of 5:1. Once again, striker Aikel scored a hat-trick.

The team also earned its fifth victory in a row without any problems in the duel with Chicago. The Knights realized their attacking potential, which made it possible to compensate for defensive mistakes. This time, it's difficult to even single out any of the players, as many have distinguished themselves by their effective actions. Thanks to the points scored, Vegas is approaching its closest competitor in the Western Conference table, and the gap from the second position has already been reduced to two points.

Gertl and Lehner will definitely not be able to participate in the upcoming match due to injuries. Pietrangelo is also questionable.
