Detroit Red Wings vs Nashville Predators Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 03/02/26

The Detroit Red Wings will take on the Nashville Predators Monday afternoon. The Red Wings are currently ranked 7th in the Eastern Conference. They are 1-1 since the Olympic break but they faced off against the Ottawa Senators and the Carolina Hurricanes. Those 2 teams lead the league in fewest shots against them. This means that we should see more shots out of the Red Wings today against the Predators. The Red Wings also rank 7th this season in power play goals with 43 total goals. This should come in handy against the Predators who rank 12 for most power play opportunities against them.

For the Predators, they are also 1-1 since the Olympic break with a win over the Chicago Blackhawks and a loss to the Dallas Stars. On the season, the Predators rank 6th in goals allowed with 3.44 goals per game. The Predators also give up 29.2 shots per game with a 14th-ranked penalty kill. I suspect we will see the Red Wings find plenty of opportunities to find the back of the net. I think we are getting increased value because of the tough defenses they have faced, but that will not be the case today. I am rolling with the Red Wings on the money line.
