Vancouver vs Nashville Prediction 1 May 2024

The playoffs could end for Nashville in the upcoming game. The "Predators" have lost two home games and with a score of 1-3 are heading to "Rogers Arena" in Vancouver, where on May 1st the fifth and possibly last game of the series will take place. Will the hosts finish off their demoralized opponent, or have the "Preds" not yet had their final say?

Vancouver shows incredible composure and confidence. Three days earlier, the team saved what seemed like a lost game. The "Canucks", having lost two main goalies due to injuries, were down by two goals with three minutes left in the game, but turned everything upside down. Brock Boeser's hat-trick allowed Rick Tocchet's charges to take the game into overtime, which ended after the very first shot. Its author was Elias Lindholm.

As for Nashville, the team allows itself too many mistakes. Losing the puck so often when building attacks is an inadmissible luxury. Yet, even with this, the "predators" could and should have taken the fourth game. However, relaxation and loss of concentration at the end cost Andrew Brunette's boys such an important victory. Now, moving to the next round has turned into an almost impossible task.

Probable lineups:

Vancouver: Shilov – Hughes, Gronek – Boeser, Miller, Zuter

Nashville: Saros – Fabbro, Josi – Forsberg, O’Reilly, Nyquist

The hosts are without two main goalkeepers Demko and Desmith. Pulman will also not play. The guests have one player out – defenseman Stastny.

Except for the third match, the series turns out to be quite productive. The teams create moments diligently, so in 3 out of 4 matches, the total over (4.5) goals was achieved. We believe that this will happen again. Nashville is on the brink, so they will be forced to take risks, thereby opening up the game.
