Predators vs Panthers Betting Pick
This game will be played at FLA Live Arena at 7:00 PM ET on Tuesday, February 22, 2022.
Why Bet The Panthers:
✅ The relentless Florida Panthers have won 13 of their last 16 games overall. Furthermore, the Panthers have gone 17-3 over their previous 20 outings at FLA Live Arena and are undefeated in nine consecutive contests on the home ice. Florida has played extremely well over the last couple of months, while the Predators haven’t been at their best as of late.
✅ Nashville has gone only 4-9 over its previous 13 games overall. The Predators come to Sunrise riding a four-game losing streak. During that four-game stretch, Nashville has allowed a whopping 18 goals. Juuse Saros (24-15-3; 2.49 GAA; .923 SV%) has done a superb job through the first three months of the season, but he’s surrendered 17 goals in his last five appearances, posting an underwhelming .892 save percentage.

✅ The Predators’ shaky defense will have to deal with the highest-scoring offense in the NHL this time around. The Panthers are tallying 4.12 goals per game. They’ve scored four or more goals in six of their previous eight outings at any location. Jonathan Huberdeau already has 70 points on his season tally (G17, A53), and the 28-year-old winger has recorded 11 assists in his past 11 games.
Nashville Predators
The Predators extended their losing streak to four games last Friday. They suffered a 5-3 defeat at the Carolina Hurricanes, playing as +145 road underdogs. Juuse Saros yielded four goals on 29 shots, while Luke Kunin, Filip Forsberg, and Tanner Jeannot all found the back of the net once.
Nashville is now sitting at the fourth spot of the Central Division standings. The Predators are No. 7 seed in the West at the moment, one point ahead of both Edmonton and Los Angeles. They score 3.04 goals per contest (14th in the NHL) and surrender 2.82 in a return (also 14th).
Florida Panthers
The Panthers are coming off a 5-2 victory at the Chicago Blackhawks last Sunday. They wrapped up a five-game road trip in style, hammering the Blackhawks as huge -255 moneyline favorites. Center Aleksander Barkov accounted for one goal and a couple of assists, while Sergei Bobrovsky yielded two goals on 24 shots.
Bobrovsky is expected to patrol the crease Tuesday against the Predators. The 33-year-old netminder is 26-4-3 with a 2.51 GAA and .919 save percentage in 2021-22. The Panthers surrender 2.84 goals per contest (15th in the league).
