If you’re looking to make some NHL betting picks, you’ll have plenty of options to explore on Tuesday night. There is a full slate of games set to take place, including the Nashville Predators hosting the Detroit Red Wings.
The Red Wings have started to fade down the stretch and that will most likely cause them to miss the playoffs. Detroit has 69 points on the season, but that is only good enough for 7th place in the Atlantic Division.
Nashville enters this game with 73 points in fifth place in the Central Division. The Predators still have some work to do, but they still have an outside shot at being a playoff team this season.
This season, the Detroit Red Wings lines have been affected by this team’s inability to slow down opponents. Detroit is allowing nearly 3.25 goals per game, putting too much pressure on their offense to step up.
Special teams play has also been a problem for Detroit as they only kill 77% of their own penalties. The Red Wings score on the power play 21% of the time, but that unit has been in a funk lately.
Dylan Larkin is having a big season for Detroit, leading the team with 25 goals and 39 assists, but he will need some help.
Predators playing puck possession
After an overtime road win in Anaheim on Sunday, Nashville head coach John Hynes said: “I give our guys a lot of credit, it’s been a long ride and a lot of different time zones.” Playing overtime games is nothing new for the Predators, as they have been in plenty of close games.
The Predators score 2.83 goals per game, allowing 2.84. Nashville is a team that wants to control the puck at every turn and they will try to get another win.
Roman Josi is having a huge season for the Predators, leading the team with 41 assists and 58 total points. If you follow NHL news, you know that the Predators are not a team that can dominate an opponent, but are talented enough to beat any team in the league.
