VAN Canucks vs NAS Predators Prediction: the Whales will manage to earn two points

Prediction for the NHL match which will take place on January 4. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

December has not turned out well for Vancouver. During this month, the Whales played 13 games, winning five of them and failing in five of them outside of regulation time. Rick Tocchet can be satisfied with the game in January so far. Despite a 1:3 setback against Calgary, Vancouver managed to take points away from Seattle 4:3 on the road.

Vancouver holds a position in the playoff zone of the Western Conference. On the eve of the fight with Nashville they are in eighth place, having 44 points, which is one more than the lower-ranked Calgary. If the Canucks lose to the Predators, they risk dropping out of the Cup Final Eight.

Nashville after an encouraging six-game stretch in which it managed to earn nine points, is back to the rhythm of defeat after defeat. After the Christmas break, the Predators took to the ice more rested and less motivated, and as a result suffered three straight losses. First they failed against St. Louis - 4:7, then against Winnipeg - 0:3, and lastly against Minnesota - 3:5. Thus, in the Western Conference table they went down to the penultimate position, passing ahead of San Jose.

Bookmakers are more inclined to the victory of the second collective, with which we strongly disagree. Vancouver can not boast results in their stands, having only seven wins in 20 games, but Nashville's situation on the road is more deplorable - three wins in the same number of games. In general, we believe that the Whales will manage to earn two points.
