Oilers at Predators projected goalies

Jack Campbell (7-6-0, 4.12 GAA, .872 SV%) vs. Juuse Saros (9-8-3, 2.93 GAA, .908 SV%)

Campbell was pounded for 5 goals on 30 shots last time out in Minnesota on Dec. 1. He has dropped 3 of his past 4 starts, and he has allowed 3 or more goals in 4 games in a row and 8 of the past 9 outings.

The Finn has allowed 3 or fewer goals in 6 of the past 7 starts overall, but offensive support has been an issue. The Predators have lit the lamp just 4 times in his past 3 starts, and have provided just 16 goals in the past 7 starts for Saros.

Oilers at Predators picks and predictions

Prediction

Predators 4, Oilers 3

Moneyline

The PREDATORS (+105) are worth a look at home against the Oilers. Nashville has had trouble lighting the lamp lately, but Saros will get plenty of support against a very giving Campbell. If Nashville can’t pierce the net of Campbell, it is really in some trouble.

Puck line/Against the spread

The Predators +1.5 (-240) will cost you nearly 2 1/2 times your potential return, and that’s just too much risk for not nearly enough reward. If you like Nashville, just play it straight up.

PASS.

Over/Under

OVER 6.5(-120) is the best play on the board here.

The Over has cashed in 7 of the past 9 games overall for the Oilers while going 3-1-1 in the past 5 games on the road. The Over is also 20-6 in the past 26 games against losing teams.
