The Nashville Predators (5-7-0) aim to get on track against the Winnipeg Jets (6-4-2) who have won consecutive games. The Jets are favored to win with a moneyline of -135.

The Predators have lost their last three out of four games. Their most recent defeat was a 4-2 showing against the Calgary Flames. They need to break out of their offensive slump soon.

In these three losses across four games, they have yet to score over two goals. They are also allowing teams to average 4.3 goals a game, as they are losing by nearly three goals each time.

Their offense has dropped over the last five games. In their last win, they were able to score three goals but it took overtime to achieve that. They now average 2.83 goals a game, ranking 22^nd in the league for amount of goals scored.

On defense they have allowed just 3.00 goals a game (15^thh, but this has not been the case lately. If they are unable to keep their opponents below three goals and if they cannot score over two, they will have the worst time in trying to win games.

The Jets have won their last two games and have scored five goals each as a result. Their previous win was a 5-2 performance over the St. Louis Blues.

In their event wins, they are averaging five goals a game and only give up 2.5 from opponents. This is great momentum heading into a potential third win.

Can their offense sustain this run? They have been averaging 3.42 goals on 32.8 shots a game so far this year. This ranks 11^th in terms of goals scored total, making them a solid threat on offense.

They are allowing 3.33 goals from opponents, while they average 27.9 shots. This ranks 19^th, so they need to continue their efforts on defense to see if they can slow down teams to that 2.5 goal range.

MyBookie has the odds showing that the Winnipeg Jets are slight favorites to win at home. Based on recent performances, it makes sense to go with the Jets.

The Predators are not reliable, especially in their last handful of games. While they defeated the Edmonton Oilers 5-2 two games back, they still have tendencies where they fail to score and five up too many goals. Overall, the Jets have been more consistent and have shown to be within close encounters even though they have plenty of losses by shootouts or overtime.
