- Chicago has the second-worst goal differential in the NHL this season at -102.
- Nashville is unlikely to take this game for granted as they need to keep winning to lock up the top Wild Card spot in the Western Conference.
The Nashville Predators are set to face off against the Chicago Blackhawks on April 12, 2024, at 8:30 pm ET. DraftKings Sportsbook has the Predators as -258 favorites, while the Blackhawks are the +210 underdogs. Current betting trends show equal for both teams, with a total of 6.0 goals set for the game. Don't miss this exciting matchup that has major Wild Card implications in the NHL.
Going into this game, the Predators sit in the first Wild Card spot in the Western Conference, three points clear of the Vegas Golden Knights who sit in Wild Card position number two. A win for the Preds would greatly improve their chances of getting that top Wild Card spot going into the playoffs. And we expect the Preds to win tonight, covering the puckline as a favorite against a Blackhawks team that has struggled all season long.
The Blackhawks have the second-worst goal differential in the NHL this season, ranking ahead of only the San Jose Sharks in that department. While there is always the potential for Chicago to catch the Preds taking this game for granted tonight, we don't expect Nashville to be asleep at the wheel given how much is on the line for them at the tail end of the regular season.
