Betting Odds & Prediction
Current line: Pittsburgh -125, Over/Under: 6.5 goals.
Personally, I like Pittsburgh here. Despite recent struggles, their power play ranks first in the NHL (35.7%), and Nashville’s defense has been porous, allowing 3.6 goals per game.
My prediction: Penguins 4 – Predators 2.
