Golden Knights vs. Predators Preview
After grinding out 22 playoff games last spring, the Golden Knights have not struggled to get their game back in gear, as they have authored a solid 5-2-0 start this season. Jack Eichel looks to be a potential Hart candidate, while the majority of the team's proven stars have played as expected, and 2024 ninth overall pick Trevor Connelly has been a nice surprise.
We won't reach to knock the Knights for the sake of this pick, but +107 looks to be an appealing price to back a Preds' side that has shown some promise early. The Knights will be playing the second leg of a travelling back-to-back and will likely have Adin Hill starting in goal, after Carter Hart started Monday in Minnesota.
Hill played to a -14.2 GSAX across 27 starts in 2025-26 and holds an .886 save percentage through his first two games.
Though the Predators' underlying metrics are not very impressive, they have played a notably tough schedule and spent a ton of time playing with the lead, which generally means playing in a defensive stature. Their overall team game has looked respectable, and they will have both rest and goaltending advantages in this matchup.
The Knights are certainly the better team, but the Predators are catching them in a highly favorable spot here and should have a good chance of exposing a weak starter in Hill on Tuesday evening.
Best Bet: Nashville Predators Moneyline +107 (Bet365, Play to +100)
