Command Analysis
Current form
Pittsburgh came into the match against the Nashville Predators on November 14 with a 9-5-4 record. And how effectively Evgeni Malkin reminded himself: he opened the scoring in the second period and put the Penguins ahead. The goal was not only important, but also symbolic — the 518th of his career. He allowed Malkin to match the legendary Dale Haverchuk in the league's historical list of snipers.
Despite the stellar moment, the Penguins were still unable to make it through to the victorious finale. The attack stalled, and the team lost in overtime 1:2. Artur Silovs made 28 saves, kept the net in suspense, but Nashville found a loophole in extra time. Pittsburgh is currently in third place in the Metropolitan Division.
Interesting facts for betting
The Penguins score an average of 3.4 goals per game.

Nashville has a more modest 6-9-4 balance, but it was in the match with Pittsburgh that they finally ended their unpleasant streak of five defeats. The victory turned out to be dramatic: Filip Forsberg equalized the score at the end of the third period with a beautiful backhand shot, and Steven Stamkos completed the job in the 44th second of overtime, using Brady's pass.
Juuse Saros was reliable, deflecting 16 shots, although he was replaced at the end of the match, releasing an additional striker. Despite the victory, the Predators still hold on to the last line of the Central Division.

3.10Tip and bets
Historically, Pittsburgh plays very confidently against Nashville. But now injuries are affecting the game — Tristan Jarry is not in the lineup, as well as forwards Justin Brazeau and Noel Acciari. This significantly reduces the depth of the composition. Meanwhile, Nashville has just gotten out of an unpleasant series and is trying to cling to stability, while Pittsburgh lacks stability itself. However, the home ice, the fresh history of the confrontation and the depth of the remaining squad still tip the scales in the direction of the hosts.
Our betting tip is a Pittsburgh victory in 2.15
