The Montreal Canadiens could be an intriguing playoff contender in the Eastern Conference this term.
They have started the season in excellent form, winning each of their last three since an opening night loss in Toronto. Their winning sequence was maintained on Tuesday after securing an overtime success against the Seattle Kraken.
Cole Caufield was the star man for the Canadiens, netting twice. Meanwhile, other goals in the win were netted by Kirby Dach, Ivan Demidov, and Alex Newhook.
It has been a mixed start to the 2025-26 season for the Nashville Predators.
The Central Division team have won two of their opening four games, and a response will be expected on Thursday after slipping to a first regulation defeat of the campaign on Tuesday.
The Predators were made to pay for their weak defensive display, conceding twice in each of the first two periods, before shipping three in the final frame. Meanwhile, the Predators' goals in response were netted by Nick Perbix, Erik Haula, and Michael McCarron.
| TOTAL | Predators | Canadiens | DRAWS | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| WINS | 35 | 17 | 17 | |
| GOALS | 184 | 98 | 86 |
The Canadiens have won 55.6% of their home games against the Predators. It is also worth examining their excellent run of wins ahead of this clash.
Therefore, despite a close encounter being expected, a home win is among the preferred Predators vs. Canadiens picks.
