The Nashville Predators (40-30-8) travel to meet the Winnipeg Jets (43-32-3) Saturday. Puck drop from Canada Life Centre is scheduled for 7 p.m. ET (ESPN+). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Predators vs. Jets odds, and make our expert NHL picks and predictions.
The Predators posted a 3-0 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes last time out Thursday, its 2nd consecutive win on home ice. As such, Nashville keeps its hopes alive for a wild card spot in the Western Conference.
The Preds have 88 points with 4 games remaining in the regular season, 1 point back of the Calgary Flames and Jets for the final card in the West. A big question is whether D Roman Josi (upper body) can return Saturday after being out since March 18.
The Jets have registered back-to-back wins over the Detroit Red Wings and New Jersey Devils by a combined score of 12-3, and Winnipeg could really be in the driver’s seat for a playoff spot with a win against Nashville.
