Game Preview

Competitive action in the NHL is set for Saturday, as the Toronto Maple Leafs travel to the Nashville Predators. The Preds will have the home ice advantage, but they come into this clash sitting bottom of the Central Division.

It has been a challenging period for Nashville, and they have gone 13-16-4 this term. The Preds have the second-worst defensive record in the Central Division, and they also have the second-worst offensive output.

Nashville saw their winning run halted last time out against the Carolina Hurricanes, as they were easily beaten 4-1 on home ice. Filip Forsberg scored the only goal in the defeat for the Preds.

Consistency has been a major issue for the Maple Leafs this season, and that ensures that they come into this road clash sitting seventh in the Atlantic Division.

Toronto have gone 5-3-2 over their last ten, but their defensive record ranks among the worst in the division. The Leafs will also need to pick themselves up following a damaging 4-0 road loss on Thursday after being humbled 4-0 by the Washington Capitals.

Maple Leafs vs. Predators Picks

Toronto have gone only 5-8-0 on the road this season, and their inconsistency is hurting their playoff chances. Another damaging blow could be inflicted in Nashville on Saturday evening.
