How to Watch: US TV: Fan Duel Sports South; ESPN+. Canada TV: SN West.

Time: 8 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)

Our final and featured game of NHL predictions is the rubber match between the Nashville Predators and the Edmonton Oilers. Juuse Saros is the projected starter for the Predators, who are 3-4-3 in their last 10 games. Nashville is only three points off the second wild card spot, which is currently held by the San Jose Sharks. Ryan O’Reilly leads the team in assists (39) and points (61).

Tristan Jarry is the expected starter for the Oilers, who are 4-5-1 in their previous 10 games. Edmonton has dropped its last two consecutive games entering this matchup. Goaltending and defence are at the crux of the latest woes for the two-time defending Western Conference champions. Connor McDavid is first on the club in goals (37), assists (74), and points (111).

Both teams are in need of points. However, Edmonton should get back on track.

Prediction: Oilers win 4-3.
