Predators vs Ducks

Filip Forsberg and Roman Josi lead a Nashville group that enters this matchup on a four-game run, and the Predators expect to have a healthy core after earlier concerns over lingering injuries. Meanwhile, the Ducks have had less than good form as of late and still lean on Trevor Zegras as a dynamic centerpiece, but they may be hampered by key older injuries from their blue line that persist. Historically, Nashville has tended to pull out tight wins against teams in the Western Conference, making their slight moneyline advantage enticing. This wager earns a B+ rating for a decent probability of success and attractive payoff potential.

Filip Forsberg remains sidelined for the Nashville Predators, who enter this matchup hoping to end a four-game slide and improve their 25-32-7 record. Meanwhile, the Anaheim Ducks ride the ups and downs of small win and loss streaks in 2025. Historically, the Predators tend to light the lamp in Anaheim, and with key Anaheim forwards like Trevor Zegras healthy and eager to pad their stats, the recent blend of defensive lapses and offensive bursts from both sides could create a high-scoring affair. Taking the over at 6 goals carries a solid chance of success, graded at a "B" level for its likelihood and the potential to nearly double your stake if it hits.

Filip Forsberg’s returning form for Nashville could signal trouble for the Ducks, especially with Anaheim. Although the Predators have also dropped their last two contests, they've historically held an edge when traveling to Western Conference foes, often outperforming Anaheim in physical battles. This game sets up as a breakthrough opportunity for Nashville—if Forsberg and company capitalize on their offensive bursts while limiting the Ducks’ power-play chances, the Preds should cover the puckline with a decent payout. Our recommendation earns a B+ for its solid chance at success and the above-average return if it hits.
