The Vancouver Canucks and Nashville Predators meet Tuesday in NHL action at the Bridgestone Arena. The Vancouver Canucks look for a win after splitting their last eight games. The Nashville Predators look to snap a three-game losing streak.

The Vancouver Canucks are averaging 2.5 goals per game and are scoring on 18.5 percent of their power play opportunities. Bo Horvat leads Vancouver with 13 goals, Quinn Hughes has 28 assists and Conor Garland has 107 shots on goal. Defensively, the Vancouver Canucks are allowing 2.9 goals per game and are killing 68.8 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Thatcher Demko has given up 82 goals on 965 shots faced and Jaroslav Halak has allowed 19 goals on 224 shots.

The Nashville Predators are averaging 3.1 goals per game and are scoring on 27 percent of their power play opportunities. Filip Forsberg leads Nashville with 18 goals, Mikael Granlund has 28 assists and Roman Josi has 140 shots on goal. Defensively, the Nashville Predators are allowing 2.7 goals per game and are killing 81.5 percent of their opponent’s power plays. Juuse Saros has allowed 74 goals on 1,001 shots faced, and David Rittich has allowed 17 goals on 146 shots.

The Canucks are 5-1 in their last 6 vs. Western Conference and 9-4 in their last 13 overall. The Predators are 4-0 in their last 4 Tuesday games and 12-4 in their last 16 overall. The over is 4-1 in Canucks last 5 overall. The over is 4-1 in Predators last 5 overall. The Canucks are 2-5 in the last 7 meetings in Nashville.

The Nashville Predators should be favored at home, where they’re dangerous, and I don’t expect this losing stretch to continue much longer. However, the Vancouver Canucks are enjoying some of their best hockey of the season, and they have the rest advantage here. The underdog has also won each of the last four meetings between the Canucks and Predators. The Preds should be favored, but the value is with the Canucks and plus money.
