Andrew Brunette’s Nashville Predators have been slightly inconsistent in the NHL this term, but plenty of positives can be taken from their record at the Bridgestone Arena, having gone 16-12-3.
The Preds have won two of their last three games at home, while they have scored an impressive 15 goals across the same period. However, they come into this clash following a recent loss against the Dallas Stars.
Ryan O’Reilly has been a standout player for the team this term, scoring a franchise-high 56 points. O’Reilly, Filip Forsberg, and Steven Stamkos have all scored more than 20 goals in 2025-26.
The Detroit Red Wings will be the visitors to Nashville on Monday afternoon. They come into this clash following a heavy road loss against the Carolina Hurricanes, while their consistency would be a major issue, having won just twice in their last seven.
Their only win over that period was achieved in overtime against the Ottawa Senators last week. Still, Todd McLellan’s team have excelled on their travels, achieving a record of 16-10-4.
Alex DeBrincat has been the leading star, scoring a team-high 30 goals. Meanwhile, Lucas Raymond leads the franchise for points and assists.
| TOTAL | Predators | Red Wings | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WINS | 133 | 55 | 74 | - |
| GOALS | 726 | 338 | 388 |
The Red Wings may have impressed on the road this term, but they have won just 47% of their games in Nashville. Home advantage could count for a lot on Monday, meaning that the preference is for the Preds against an inconsistent opponent.
