Predators vs. Sharks Preview
Nashville has won seven straight, mostly by keeping games low-scoring. The Predators have allowed just 21 goals over the last 10 games.
After a day off Saturday, I’d expect Juuse Saros to start, though it hasn’t been confirmed. Saros has a .921 save percentage and 11.0 goals saved above expected, third-most in the league.
The matchup helps, too. San Jose ranks last in 5-on-5 goals per 60 at 1.60 and last in 5-on-5 shooting percentage at 6.32%. The Sharks did put five past Utah last night, but that came after scoring two goals or fewer in five of the previous eight games.
With San Jose on the second night of a back-to-back, Alex Nedeljkovic will likely start in net. He has been solid through seven games, saving 5.1 goals above expected.
Nashville’s defense has been steady, and the Sharks can’t finish. With the total at 6.5, I’ll take the under.
Pick: Under 6.5 Goals (-112, DraftKings)
