Nashville Predators
5-4
Win Probability
The Carolina Hurricanes travel to Nashville to face the Predators in a matchup where the simulation leans decisively toward the visitors. Sebastian Aho projects as a 59% chance to post more than 0.5 points, while Roman Josi sits at 60%—a rare symmetry that masks a wider gap in overall firepower. The Hurricanes' depth at forward creates the primary separation; Jackson Blake and Nikolaj Ehlers both carry 51–57% point probabilities against a Nashville attack where only Filip Forsberg and Ryan O'Reilly exceed 53%. AccuScore has graded similar away-side leans in 1,075 games at a 59% success rate. For Nashville to pull the upset, its secondary scorers—particularly Steven Stamkos at 49%—would need to outperform their projections while limiting Carolina's multiple scoring threats.
