Carolina vs Nashville: prediction for the NHL preseason fixture
The Carolina Hurricanes square off against the Nashville Predators on October 6. What to expect from this match? Our answer is in the prediction below.
Command Analysis
Carolina Hurricanes
USAThe Carolina Hurricanes have played only two games in the preseason, and have another two coming up in the near future. The club decided to focus more on training, and they will get actual practice when the regular season starts. In one of the preseason matches, the Hurricanes defeated Tampa (3:1), but the Lightning got their revenge in the following game (5:8).
Rod Brind'Amour's charges were leading 5:4 until the middle of the third period but fell apart in the final ten minutes. The Hurricanes looked very active on the offensive and took a total of 44 shots, but that day they made a large number of mistakes in defense.
Nashville Predators
USAThe Nashville Predators have played four games in the preseason. First, they went against Florida and were defeated twice (4:5 and 1:3), but then the Predators didn't play with their main lineup. The team's leaders appeared on ice in the matches against Tampa Bay and helped the Preds to win both games (6:2 and 6:1).
The Predators scored 12 goals against Tampa. In recent years, Nashville had problems on the defensive and mostly relied on the powerful line of attack. This strategy hasn't changed.
Trends
СтавкаNashville IT over 2.5

Tip and bets
Nashville looked great in the last two games against Tampa. Carolina had only two preseason matches, in one of which they showed poor defensive play. The Predators build their game through attack, and if the Hurricanes fail to perform well in their own zone, they will lose.
Our prediction - Nashville to win
Both Carolina and Nashville play open hockey in the preseason. We think that the upcoming game will be high-scoring, just like the previous fixtures of the two sides.
Second bet - total over 5.5 goals
