The Nashville Predators travel to Rogers Arena to face the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday, March 12. This marks the third meeting between these two teams this season after splitting the first two.
My Predators vs. Canucks predictions and NHL picks suggest a low-scoring affair between two goal-starving teams, while Vancouver will look to turn the tide on an ugly stretch in which they've won just once in their last 10 games.
Predators vs Canucks prediction
Predators vs Canucks best bet: Marcus Pettersson o1.5 blocked shots (-140)
Vancouver Canucks defenseman Marcus Pettersson has been a stalwart on a rough blue line. He's blocked 10 shots in his last five games, hitting the Over in four of them.
The Nashville Predators average a respectable 28.4 shots per game despite their lackluster goal-scoring, and Pettersson has logged over 20 minutes of ice time in eight consecutive games.
His 108 blocks this season lead Vancouver, and he's poised to wear some rubber tonight.

Penguins vs Golden Knights same-game parlay
On the topic of Canucks players named Pettersson, I can smell an enticing opportunity regarding their leading scorer, Elias Pettersson. Although a far cry from what he once was, he remains their best offensive weapon and their most-deployed forward, ranking third on the team in ice time.
He's hit the Over for shots on goal in three of his last four games as Jake DeBrusk, their typical volume shooter, battles inconsistency.
Meanwhile, three of the last four and seven of 10 meetings between these teams have hit the Under. Both struggle mightily to score, and Vancouver's 5-4 overtime win on November 3 is an outlier.
