8:05 PM EST. The Preds come in with an 8-3 record after 11 games but it’s not as pretty on the ice as it is on paper. In its last four games against the Oilers, Sharks, Devils and Oilers again, Nashville has created the least amount of scoring chances in the league over a four-game stretch with 15, 14, 23 and 13 scoring chances respectively. In this market, the Preds are considered as an upper-tier team but they are not playing like one. In fact, outside of its top line of Filip Forsberg, Ryan Johansen and Viktor Arvidsson, nobody else is scoring. These are the Predators forwards who have scored a 5-on-5 goal this season: Craig Smith (3), Ryan Hartman, Calle Jarnkrok and Zac Rinaldo and it’s not like we are four games into the season. Nashville ranks 13th in Corsi For % during five-on-five play and will now play a monster puck possession team.

Vegas ranks 2nd in the NHL in Corsi For % during five-on-play but only have five wins in 11 games to show for it but let’s not forget that the Knights were 1-4 to start the year. The Golden Knights have won four of their past six games. Their only losses over that span were both by one goal and one was in OT. They have picked up nine out of a possible 12 points over that stretch and it’s all legit. These Golden Knights have lost some of the luster they picked up last year but the team itself is playing at a very high level and we’re happy to get behind them at prices like this.

Therefore:

OT included - VEGAS +140 for 1 unit.

Regulation only - VEGAS -½ +250 for 1 unit.
