  • Vancouver Canucks are 5-0 in the last 5 meetings with Nashville
  • Vancouver Canucks are 7-3 in their last 10 home games
  • Nashville Predators are 2-5 in their last 7 road games
  • The Over has cashed in 8 of the last 11 meetings

  • Vancouver Canucks lead this NHL Playoff series 1-0
  • Vancouver Canucks won 4-2 when the two teams last met on April 21

Nashville Predators Form

Nashville enter Game 2 aiming to knot up the series before taking it back to 'Music City for Games 3 and 4.

The Predators earned their place in the postseason by finishing fourth in the Central Division with a regular season record of 47-30-5.

They looked to be finishing the regular season strong when they backed up a 5-1 win in Chicago wth a 6-4 victory at home to Columbus.

However, Nashville's final regular season outing ended in a 4-2 defeat in Pittsburgh, derailing any momentum they were gaining ahead of the playoffs.

The Predators then fell to a 4-2 defeat in Vancouver in Game 1 of this series - their fourth defeat at the hands of the Canucks this season.

Vancouver Canucks Form

Vancouver will be determined to make it back-to-back wins and give themselves a 2-0 series lead to take to Nashville.

The Canucks came into the postseason having compiled a 50-23-9 record in the regular season to win the Pacific Division.

They were an inconsistent bunch over the final couple of weeks though, as they went 5-4 in their last nine games of the regular season.

Vancouver did win back-to-back games late on, winning 3-1 in Edmonton and 4-1 at home to Calgary, but they failed to wrap up the schedule with a victory, losing 4-2 in Winnipeg.

The Canucks bounced back from that loss in their first playoff outing though, downing Nashville 4-2 in Game 1.

Verdict

Vancouver boast a perfect record against Nashville this season, and that cannot be ignored.

It is also impossible to ignore the Canucks' good home form and the Predators' recent struggles on the road, so we expect the hosts to take a 2-0 series lead.
