With the Preds having the better group of forwards and the edge in goal, I like them to win this game outright. The Predators didn’t make a ton of moves this summer, but they did add Nino Niederreiter who should be able to improve on what’s already a solid offensive team. What impressed most last season, aside from the play of Saros, was the Preds’ power play, converting at a 24.4% rate. The Predators may have had an ugly end to the season, as they were swept by the Stanley Cup Champion Colorado Avalanche in Round 1, but they did have a pretty strong regular season that they’re looking to build on going into this year. In fact, they may have even gotten worse with the departure of Brent Burns. The Sharks finished 30th last season in goals per game, as they were only averaging 2.57 a night, and they didn’t make any moves this summer to increase their production.

My best bet: Predators -1.5 (+130 at PointsBet) I like the Preds to open up the season with a win, but I love the value on them covering the puck line. I believe that Saros will be at his best and that the Predators’ skill will take over on the bigger rink. It’s safe to say that San Jose had a hard time scoring on Juuse Saros last season and it may face the same exact problem in this game. The Predators and Sharks met three times last season and the Predators were victorious in all three of those meetings, outscoring the Sharks by a combined score of 12-1. Since this is the first game of the season for both sides, I have to go with the roster I think is better on paper, and there’s no doubt that the better team here is the Nashville Predators. Roman Josi is another scoring threat for Nashville from the blue line. I’ve got my eyes on Matt Duchene, who had 43 goals last season, and Filip Forsberg, who potted 42 of his own, to really take this game over. It’s also important to take into account that this game will be played on a larger ice surface than the typical NHL rink, which gives the skilled forwards on Nashville even more room to create place while having that extra time and space. Not only does Nashville have the edge in the blue paint, but the Predators forwards are a way more skilled bunch than those of the Sharks. Saros will be looking to pick up right where he left off last season, as he was voted third for the Vezina trophy as the league’s best goaltender. Considering the location, there isn’t a home-ice advantage factor to take into account for this matchup.Ī notable thing to pay attention to is the goaltending battle between Juuse Saros for Nashville and James Reimer for San Jose.
