- The Predators are a 1.5-goal home favorite against the Canucks.
- The underdogs have won four of the Canucks' last five games.
- My Predators vs. Canucks prediction is for the Predators to cover the puck line.
Off a bad loss as road favorites in Anaheim, the Predators return to Nashville for a meeting with the Canucks.
Nashville fell 5-2 as road favorites against the Ducks on Saturday, ending a five-game winning streak. The good news? Nashville earned victories in seven of its last nine at home.
Vancouver captured a 5-2 road win in St. Louis on Monday and currently sits fifth in the Pacific division. This season, they’re 0-2 SU against the Predators.

Predators vs. Canucks Prediction
Based on one historically profitable NHL betting system, the Predators vs. Canucks prediction for Wednesday’s game is the Predators Puck-Line (-1.5, +180).
History tells us conference favorites off a bad loss as favorites tend to cover the spread at a higher rate than the odds suggest.
Since 2005, home favorites in a conference game that closed a favorite in their previous game are 47% ATS, assuming three factors:
- The underdog’s previous game margin falls between +1 and +6
- The favorite’s previous game margin falls between -4 and -3
- The favorite’s game number falls between 9 and 61
Those teams are already 6-5 ATS this season and enjoy a higher cover rate later in the sample.
Look at those home favorites in games 45-61 and bettors will find they’re 37-36 ATS.
Nashville is no stranger to this situation, finding itself as a match once before this season.
That came on November 23 as home favorites against the Jets. Nashville, as a +175 dog to cover the puck line, earned a 4-1 home win.
As a result, take the plus-money with the Predators and back them to continue their strong home form on Wednesday.
