Stars at Predators 2/7/19 - NHL Picks & Predictions

In what may look like a game that was just played recently the Stars are going to be playing the Predators again in this game. However, this is a game that the Stars are starting to hit the realm of the must win section. That comes from the fact that the Stars are a team that has barely been able to keep themselves ahead of the Wild in the division and that could be a major issue for the Stars if the Wild are able to leapfrog them on the season.

On the season the Predators have been able to battle quite a bit. However, the Predators are still finding themselves only 3 points behind the Jets in this game here and that is going to be something the Predators are going to want to overcome in this game here as a win here could really help them out in the standings. The Stars are coming into this game with a 5 game winning streak and that does include a win over Nashville only two games ago. The win was one that the Stars really needed to get because it helped them gain some ground on the Predators and it was a win in Nashville.

The Stars are coming into the game here with an offense that has been able to score 2.60 goals a game, but the defense has given up 2.53 goals a game. On the year the Predators have been able to score 3.09 goals a game, but the defense for the Predators have given up 2.55 goals a game.
