2024-25 Season Series: Predators 0-3 Oilers

How to Watch:

US TV: Fan Duel Sports South; ESPN+

Canada TV: SN West; TVA Sports

Time: 9 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (EST)

Our third and final game of NHL predictions has the Nashville Predators squaring off with the Edmonton Oilers for the first time this campaign. Juuse Saros is the probable starter for Nashville, which is 7-3 in its last 10 games. The Predators have taken victories in three of their previous five games. Possible trade target Ryan O’Reilly leads the team in assists (24) and points (35).

Former Nashville goalie Connor Ingram is the projected starter for Edmonton. It’s been a struggle for consistency for the Oilers, who are 5-5 in their last 10 games. The injury to Tristan Jarry has blunted any momentum that Edmonton had. Connor McDavid continues to lead the way in goals (25), assists (47), and points (72) for the Oilers this season.

Nashville has been better as of late. However, Edmonton should get victory at home.

Prediction: Oilers win 5-3.
