Utah at Nashville

Utah lost 2-1 to Colorado on Thursday when Nathan MacKinnon scored a power-play goal to break a 1-all tie early in the third period. Karel Vejmelka stopped 24 of 26 shots for the Mammoth, who finished last season 8-2 after scoring two or fewer goals in their previous game. They also have won five in a row against teams that scored two or fewer points in their previous game. Nashville has lost 13 of 19 dating back to last season, and the Predators are 7-24 versus opponents that scored two or fewer goals in their previous games. The Predators have lost 10 of their last 12 games against the Western Conference. Juuse Saros had 37 saves in a 2-1 victory over Columbus, but the Nashville goalie still has to prove he can bounce back from one of his worst seasons in 2024-25 when he went 20-31-6 with a 2.98 goals-against average. Take the Mammoth.
