Historically, the Predators have dominated Saturday night games at Bridgestone Arena, winning their last nine such contests. Additionally, they've consistently taken early leads, winning the first period in each of their last nine home games. In contrast, the Capitals have struggled against Central Division opponents, losing their last four games in such matchups. Their performance on the second leg of back-to-back games has also been subpar, with key players like Alex Ovechkin showing fatigue. Given these factors, the Predators' strong home advantage and the Capitals' recent difficulties suggest that Nashville is well-positioned to emerge victorious in this encounter. Take Nashville.
