NHL Predictions: Nashville Predators vs Vancouver Canucks<\/span><\/h2>\n

Nashville Predators vs Vancouver Canucks<\/span><\/h3>\n

Head To Head: Predators 0 \u2013 0 Canucks<\/span><\/h4>\n

Our NHL Predictions should be an exciting game. Nashville is coming off one of their best efforts this season with a 4-1 win over the Calgary Flames<\/a>. The Predators are in this gray area where they have some solid players, but may not be a contender. Juuse Saros<\/a> will probably get the start and can give the team a chance to win. Nino Niederreiter<\/a> leads the way in goals with five while Mikael Granlund<\/a> is top in assists with nine.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vancouver has won three of its last four after a dreadful start. Bo Horvat<\/a> is already into double digits with 10 goals and may force Canucks’ management into a decision. Elias Pettersson<\/a> already had 10 assists so far for the 2022-23 campaign. The Canucks have scored at least five goals in their three recent victories this season. Expected starter Thatcher Demko<\/a> has also struggled with a 1-6-1 record so far.<\/p>\n

Nashville will want to slow the tempo in this one, but Vancouver has a new lease on life. Hopefully, Demko can benefit from this.<\/p>\n

Prediction: Canucks win 4.3.<\/em><\/p>\n

New Jersey Devils vs Calgary Flames<\/h3>\n

Head-to-Head: Devils 0 – 0 Flames<\/h3>\n

Are the Devils for real<\/a>? These two games in four days against the Flames might go a long way to determining if the New Jersey Devils<\/a> are a legit contender. The Devils are 8-3 in this young season and have won five straight games. New Jersey’s offence is scoring at a rate of four goals per game during this winning run. Jesper Bratt<\/a> leads in goals (five) and assists (12) while\u00a0Vitek Vanecek<\/a> has found a new lease on life in the crease.<\/span><\/p>\n
