Recent form and standings implications

Anaheim enters the game on a five-game losing streak. The Ducks remain tied with Edmonton atop the Pacific Division. Vegas sits one point back in third.

Nashville picked up a point in a 3-2 shootout loss at the Los Angeles Kings on Monday. That defeat left the Kings in the final Western Conference wild-card spot with five games left for both teams.

Notable recent results

Anaheim fell 5-3 to the Calgary Flames on Saturday. The Ducks were -150 home favorites and the game went over 6.5. Leo Carlsson scored his 27th goal of the season in that game.

The earlier season meeting on Oct. 21 saw Anaheim win 5-2 on the road. That game opened as +112 for the Ducks and also cashed the Over 6.5.

Goaltenders and matchup notes

Projected starters are Justus Annunen for Nashville and Lukas Dostal for Anaheim. Annunen is 8-11-2 with a 2.90 GAA and .897 save percentage.

Dostal is 29-18-3 with a 3.09 GAA and a .897 save percentage. There is a chance Juuse Saros could be used by Nashville, but Annunen is expected to start on a back-to-back.

Recent goalie form

Annunen has a strong March stretch. He is 2-4-0 with a 2.21 GAA and a .927 save percentage across six starts this month. He last faced Anaheim on March 20, 2025, and stopped 31 of 34 shots in a 4-1 loss.

Dostal had 23 saves on 29 shots in a 6-2 loss to St. Louis on Friday. He has allowed three or more goals in four consecutive outings, and in seven of his last eight starts.

Picks and predictions

Predicted final score: Ducks 4, Predators 3. The pick leans toward Anaheim on the moneyline at -145.

Key reasons include Nashville’s fifth leg of a six-game road trip and a back-to-back situation. Anaheim’s defense remains physical and capable of controlling play at the blue line.

Alternative wagers to consider: Roman Josi OVER 2.5 shots on goal (-110). Josi had two shots Monday and posted four shots in each of the three games before that.

Another angle is the total. Nashville is 3-7 O/U in its last 10 games. Anaheim is 6-4 over its last 10. The Ducks allowed 20 goals in their previous four contests. Back the Over 6.5 (-120) as a result.
