Nashville vs Vancouver Prediction 26 April 2024
Match Preview
On April 27th, the third match of the Stanley Cup ⅛ finals series between Nashville and Vancouver will take place. The score is tied, so the winner of the upcoming meeting will gain a psychological advantage over the opponent. It will be held at the "Bridgestone Arena" in Nashville.
The "Predators" did not give up after a frustrating loss in the first meeting and slammed the opponent in the second, responding with four of their own pucks. By the middle of the second period, the score was 3-0, and the point in the match was made in the final two minutes when Kiefer Sherwood hit the empty net.
As for Vancouver, the "orcas" loosened their grip, failing to develop an advantage. They played the second meeting of the series significantly weaker than the first, so the result is fair. Importantly, their main goalie Thatcher Demko missed it. He has knee problems again, so the American will not participate in the upcoming match either.
Probable lineups:
Nashville: Saros – McDonagh, Josi – Forsberg, O’Reilly, Nyquist
Vancouver: Demko – Hughes, Myers – Hoglander, Pettersson, Mikheyev
The hosts are still without losses. The guests cannot count on Poolman and Demko.
When choosing a bet, let's turn to statistics. As we see, both teams have been delivering low third periods lately, this trend has continued from the regular season. We expect it to continue and bet that no more than two pucks will be scored in the third 20-minute period.
