Nashville Predators vs Florida Panthers Prediction
The Predators are having their best week of the season, but it’s going to take more than that for me to hop onboard. The Predators are still a bad team on both sides of the ice, and they’re one of the worst teams for NHL bettors. Only the Blues, Oilers, and Flames have lost more money. The Panthers have played their best hockey at home, and they beat the Predators on the road a couple of weeks ago by a score of 8-3. In the last three games against the Predators, the Panthers have outscored them 18-6. I like the Panthers to stop the bleeding. Give me the home team.
