Pick: Predators over 2.5 goals (-160)
The Kings, Rangers and Golden Knights have taken most of the headlines when it comes to good road teams, when the Predators have been quietly one of the best road teams in the league with a 9-2-1 record in their last 12 road games.
Vegas has been one of the worst covering teams in the league this season with a 11-20 record as a favourite on the spread. They can’t win decisively so for the puck line, the Predators are the best play but with not great odds we look to the Predators to score three or more goals. They’ve done this in eight straight games and have had games with seven or more goals in seven of their last 12 road games, which means they should push the pace into Vegas having to score to stay in the game. Golden Knights expected netminder Logan Thompson has also given up three or more goals in five of his last eight starts in net.
