Lucas Raymond is on pace to average more than a point per game for the first time in his career.

With most of his points coming by way of assist, my Red Wings vs. Predators predictions see him picking up a helper against a weak defensive side.

Let’s dive deeper into my NHL picks for Monday, March 2.

Red Wings vs Predators prediction

Red Wings vs Predators best bet: Lucas Raymond Over 0.5 assists (-105)

Lucas Raymond has recorded an assist in 19 of his last 30 games against bottom-half defenses, consistently taking advantage of favorable matchups.

He has a great one on Monday, as the Nashville Predators rank 28th in goals against, conceding 3.44 per game.

They continue to struggle defensively, sitting 27th in 5-on-5 goals allowed over the last 10 games, and have also conceded a power-play goal in five straight.

Raymond leads the Red Wings in points at full-strength and on the power play, making him a prime candidate to take advantage.

Red Wings vs Predators same-game parlay

Dylan Larkin goes as Raymond goes. He’s hit the scoresheet in eight of the past 10 games when Raymond has picked up a point, which makes sense given they correlate on the top line and power play.

Moritz Seider shoots more on the road when Detroit doesn’t control the matchups. He generates a lot of his volume from the right point, where the Predators rank 27th in shots allowed over the last 20 games.
