Canucks vs Predators Prediction
Nashville was able to get a much needed win last time out against Calgary, but they have lost three of their last four games and their offense is struggling. The Predators are 4-3-1 at home this year, while the Canucks are 4-4-0 on the road. Vancouver has not been very consistent to start the season and they are still dealing with an injury to Quinn Hughes. Neither team is very high scoring so far this year and I think the defenses will play very well once again. Take the under in this game.
