Nashville Predators vs Seattle Kraken Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/01/26

Both the Nashville Predators and Seattle Kraken enter this New Year’s Day matchup in a groove. The Predators have won 5 of their last 6 games, while the Kraken have been victorious in 4 of their last 5 contests. This will be the first meeting between these teams this season, and the edge could go to the visitors. Nashville has come to life offensively, scoring 8 goals over its last 2 games. Juuse Saros has also bounced back in net, as he increased his save percentage from .873 in November to .912 in December. Furthermore, his goals-against average improved from 4.14 to 3.44.

Saros and company could be in line for a solid night when matching up against a Seattle offense that is scoring 2.57 goals per game, which ranks 30th in the NHL. The power play has been decent, but Seattle hasn’t been effective enough 5-on-5 to warrant much confidence in this one. Additionally, the Seattle penalty kill has been especially woeful, operating at a lowly 71.7% which ranks 31st in the league. Nashville has potted 3 power play goals over its last 2 games and 5 over its last 4 games. Back Nashville on the road.
