Command Analysis

Carolina Hurricanes

Current form
Carolina has risen to second place in the conference and Metropolitan Division tables and is trying to break away from competitors in the East. The Hurricanes are unlikely to be able to catch up with Washington, because the Raleigh club has only 90 points in its piggy bank after 70 matches. The Capitals have scored 12 more points and are not giving Rod Brindamore's players the opportunity to get close to themselves. The hosts are in great shape and have lost only two matches since the beginning of spring. Before returning home, they played in California and played against San Jose (3:1), Los Angeles (2:7) and Anaheim (5:2).
Jordan Staal's squad has improved in attack and has recently scored quite a lot in every match. In seven previous starts, Carolina scored 27 goals, while in only one match the Hurricanes failed to score at least three accurate hits. Sebastian Aho became the club's top scorer after Mikko Rantanen left. The Finn scored 65 points (26+39) in the goal+pass system.
Disqualifications and injuries
William Carrier and Jesper Fast will not play against the Predators. The participation of Shane Gostisber, Seth Jarvis, Jordan Staal and Andrey Svechnikov is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Carolina gets 6.81 minutes of penalty time per match
- According to statistics, the hosts allow only 25 shots to be thrown at their own goal.

Nashville Predators

Current form
Nashville hardly planned to finish the season in such a low position for itself. The team from Tennessee has a good squad, but it lost a lot during the regular season and ranks only 14th in the West. The Predators have earned 60 points in 70 starts and have already lost their real chances of making the playoffs. The team led by Andrew Brunett is in poor shape and lost five out of six games in the second half of March. After defeating Toronto (5-2) at home, the Predators lost to St. Louis (1-4) in Missouri.
The guests can't do anything on the other side of the court and they practically don't score. In the last six games, the Presbyters scored only nine goals, with five of them coming against the Maple Leafs in the only successful meeting. Filip Forsberg was and remains a bright spot in Nashville's attack. The Swedish striker has scored 65 goals (28+37) this season.
Disqualifications and injuries
Roman Yossi, Jeremy Lauzon and Adam Wilsby will not be able to play against Kanes.
Interesting betting trends
- According to statistics, Nashville throws 29 times per game on average.
- Nashville gets 9.64 minutes of penalty time for the encounter
Trends
Bet 1st period: total more than 1.5 pucks
In five of the last six matches against Carolina, the first period was productive.
1.78Bet 3rd period: "Carolina" will score
Carolina has scored in the third period in the last seven games.
1.33Tip and bets
Carolina continues to bend its line and is trying to gain a foothold on the second line in the conference. Rod Brindamore's men have gained excellent form and lost only two matches since the beginning of spring. Nashville is losing motivation for the remaining regular season matches. The guests can't do anything offensively, and they miss a lot on their own. Last year, the presbyters were able to beat the hurricanes in Tennessee, but now the odds are completely against Roman Yossi's squad. We offer a bet on winning first in regular time.
Our betting tip is that Carolina will win in 1.68
Betting on an individual total
The Hurricanes have been very good offensively in recent games and have scored as many as 27 goals in the last seven matches. At home, the Raleigh team acts especially powerfully on the other half of the ice and rarely allows opponents to leave without a large number of goals conceded. Nashville looks subdued at this stage of the season and is unlikely to be able to hold off the hosts.
Prediction - Carolina's individual total is more than three goals in 1.62
Bet on the total
We do not think that the duel on the Lenovo Center ice will be boring. Carolina goes ahead in every game and tries to continue its winning streak, then Nashville has nothing to lose and at least has an opportunity to please its fans with beautiful hockey. In the last match between the rivals, seven goals were scored. We expect at least six accurate shots from the teams.
Betting Tip - total more than 5.5 goals in 1.82
