Predators bring defensive control to Anaheim

Nashville allows 2.67 goals per game and has killed 88.9 percent of opposing power plays, numbers that could matter against Anaheim’s dangerous special teams. The Predators also score 3.00 goals per game, with Filip Forsberg leading the team in points and Steven Stamkos leading in goals.

The Predators have won five straight completed games, most recently shutting out the Kings 3-0 in Los Angeles. They also held the Blues and Hurricanes to one goal apiece, while road wins over Colorado and Los Angeles showed their form has traveled. Their 5-4 win over Tampa Bay was less tidy, but Nashville followed it with four games in which it allowed no more than two goals. That pattern gives the Predators a clear route into this matchup: keep the game controlled rather than depend on another high-scoring finish.

Ducks’ scoring surge meets a stiffer test

Anaheim scores 3.83 goals per game, and its power play has converted 38.5 percent of its chances. Cutter Gauthier leads the Ducks in goals, while Leo Carlsson leads in points. The concern is at the other end: Anaheim allows 3.67 goals per game and has a 73.0 percent penalty kill.

The Ducks have answered defensive lapses with offense throughout a five-game winning run, scoring at least five goals in every victory. Their 5-2 home win over Pittsburgh was the cleanest recent result, following road wins against Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver. The Edmonton and Vancouver games each finished 5-4, showing how narrow the margin can become when Anaheim gives up goals. A 6-3 home win over Ottawa adds another example of its scoring ceiling, but the Pittsburgh result offers a more encouraging template if the Ducks want to avoid another exchange of chances.

BTB Betting Pick

Winner pick: Nashville Predators.

Nashville’s recent defensive results and stronger penalty kill give it a slight edge against Anaheim’s potent attack. The Ducks have enough scoring to overturn that matchup, but the Predators look better equipped to limit chances.
