Columbus Blue Jackets vs Nashville Predators Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 10/09/25

The Nashville Predators swung for the fences last season by bringing in big-name players in Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault. Unfortunately, the season was a complete disaster, as the Predators finished with just 68 points. Only the Sharks and Blackhawks had fewer points in the NHL. On the other side, the Blue Jackets put together a strong 2024-25 campaign, but missed out on the playoffs yet again. Zach Werenski put together a career year, and if Columbus is going to battle for a playoff spot again this season, Werenski is going to have to continue his elite play. Kirill Marchenko is emerging into a bonafide star, and the development of young players such as Adam Fantilli and Kent Johnson will be key for Columbus in 2025.

Both the Blue Jackets and Predators have a lot of unknowns heading into the new season. Will Stamkos and Marchessault bounce back? Will Roman Josi get back to his normal self? Will Juuse Saros have a bounce back year in net? Will Columbus’ young guns continue to develop at a strong rate? This is the season debut for both teams, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see them take some time to get their structure in place before trying to break things open. All things considered, look to the under in this one.
