Predators vs Penguins Prediction
In their previous meeting earlier this season, the Preds won 2-1 at home in overtime but the Pens are 6-1 in their 7 meetings before that. Under is 8-1 in their last 9 meetings.
In this Predators vs Penguins Prediction, the Penguins are coming as -120 favorites. The Pens are the better team this season, having three more total wins than the Preds, who have been terrible on the road, with just one win in 7 road games. The Pens are better both offensively, defensively, power play, penalty kill and goaltending so I expect them to get the job done against their inferior opponents. Take the Pittsburgh Penguins on the moneyline in this one.
