Today’s Best NHL Bets: Blue Jackets vs. Predators

The Predators got back in the win column last night, beating the Flames 2-1 on home ice. They’ll look to keep things rolling tonight against a Blue Jackets team that’s 3-13-0 over their last 16 games. Puck drop is set for 8:00 p.m. ET from Bridgestone Arena.

Nashville is currently a fringe playoff team, chasing the Flames by five points in the Wild Card standings (with two games in hand). If the Preds want to narrow the gap again, they’ll need to pick up the two points tonight. I’m confident that they’ll do so, and I’ll back them on the puck line against the lowly Blue Jackets.

This is a tough matchup for Columbus, whose offense has been abysmal this season. They come into tonight’s game ranked 30th in scoring (2.5 GPG) and dead last on the power play (14.78%). They’ll take on a Nashville side that’s 14th in both defensive scoring (2.7 GAA) and on the penalty kill (79.61%). Goals should be tough to come by for the Blue Jackets, and I expect the Predators to spread their lead out by multiple goals. Let’s lock in Nashville on the puck line.

Bet: Nashville Predators -1.5 (-135 via DraftKings)
