Nashville Predators vs Chicago Blackhawks Prediction: Don't Expect a Lot of Pucks

Prediction for the NHL Nashville Predators vs Chicago Blackhawks match which will take place on March 17th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available. 

After the deadline, Nashville would not claim to solve tournament problems at the end of this regular season. However, John Hines' team still has a good chance of reaching the playoffs. So, on the eve of the game with Chicago, the Predators won three times in a row (against Los Angeles, Anaheim, and Detroit) and came in ninth place in the summary standings of the Western Conference. The difference between Nashville and Winnipeg is only 4 points. Moreover, the Predators have three extra games concerning the Jets.

Unlike the situation in Nashville, the possibility of trade was discussed with Chicago. The franchise was never able to carry out the restructuring, and in the form in which they achieved championship success, it finally sunk into oblivion.

Chicago's results have been weak all season, before and after the deadline, but the team unexpectedly started playing in the previous game. At home, the Blackhawks outplayed the strongest team of the season, Boston, 6-3 — a fantastic victory with a hat trick by ex–Tampa Bay forward Taylor Raddysh.

The Predators were already a grassroots team. After the deadline and the departure of several forwards, they had unsuccessful games – out of the last eight matches, only with the participation of the Predators, there were more than six pucks only in one game. Chicago's performance has also worsened after Patrick Kane's departure – only two of the last eight games have more than six goals. So the upcoming meeting will most likely not be rich in pucks. As an outcome, we will choose the double chance of Nashville. Firstly, the Predators this season are still motivated by the fight for the playoffs. And secondly, Chicago, on the road this season, has won only 7 games out of 32 in regular time.
