Rangers vs Predators predictions
As the New York Rangers gear up to face the Nashville Predators, all eyes might be on Artemi Panarin, despite his day-to-day status. With an impressive tally of 15 goals this season, Panarin has been a key player for the Rangers and his participation could be a major game-changer. Additionally, Adam Fox, leading with 24 assists, is likely to continue his form, setting up crucial plays and enhancing the Rangers' offensive dynamics. Their contributions will be essential, especially with the Rangers looking to leverage their reasonably strong road record.
On the flip side, the Nashville Predators will be reliant on Filip Forsberg and Roman Josi to ignite their gameplay. Forsberg, leading the team with 9 goals, will need to find the back of the net to boost the Predators' chances. Meanwhile, Josi, also listed as day-to-day, could make a significant impact if he hits the ice. His team-leading 16 assists are indicative of his playmaking prowess, which could be pivotal in creating scoring opportunities against the Rangers' defense.
Considering both teams' forms and key player performances, this matchup is poised to be tightly contested. However, the Rangers, with their stronger overall record and solid road performance, might just have the edge. Assuming their key players, like Panarin and Fox, are in action and perform to their potential, they could very well tip the scales in their favor, helping the Rangers to secure a victory in this face-off at Bridgestone Arena.
