Carolina Hurricanes - Nashville Predators: NHL match betting tip and bets

Current form

Carolina had a real thriller against Tampa Bay on September 27. The result was 6:5 in favor of the lightning, what a match it was. The Hurricanes fought until the last second, scoring the puck 10 seconds before the final siren. It's not just that, it's character. However, something is still not working out for Carolina in the special teams: seven attempts in the majority and not a single goal scored, and they also conceded two goals in the minority.

Goalkeeper Amir Miftakhov, let's just say, wasn't a wall that night — six goals from 28 shots. But let's not pin all the dogs on him: Tyson Yost broke the ice in game time and shots, and Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Jiwani Smith added goals to the piggy bank. Overall, the Hurricanes have shown that they have powder in their flasks, and in the 2025/26 season they are ready to tear up the Metropolitan Division again, where they are already 4-0 in the preseason.

What about Nashville? On September 28, the Predators clashed with the same Tampa and left the court with a loss of 1:4. Nashville had fewer shots, 17 against the Lightning's 29. The only ray of light was Ozzy Wisblatt's goal, which closed Fedor Svechkov's pass. In the second period, the predators increased, pressed, and owned the puck, but clearances and misses on goal put an end to their hopes. Juuse Saros defended for two periods, then he was replaced by Matt Murray, but no miracle happened. Nashville's preseason record is 2-2-0.
