Both teams have been performing well in their previous games, but it's the Predators who have been on a winning streak lately. They will be looking to continue their success and secure another victory against the Devils.

In the last three games, O'Reilly has showcased his skills with 1 assist, 2 shots on goal, and an impressive time on ice of 18 minutes and 30 seconds.

Another standout performer for the Predators is defenseman Tyson Barrie. Although he hasn't recorded any points in the past three games, Barrie has shown his defensive prowess with solid playmaking abilities. He has logged an average time on ice of 17 minutes and 37 seconds, demonstrating his importance to the team's defensive structure.


On the other side of the ice, the New Jersey Devils have some notable players who could make an impact in this game. Forward Alexander Holtz has been consistent with his shooting accuracy, recording 3 shots on goal in the last three games. His ability to find scoring opportunities could pose a challenge for the Predators' defense.

Defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler has also been a key player for the Devils, contributing with solid defensive play and physicality. With a time on ice of 18 minutes and 28 seconds per game, Siegenthaler has proven to be reliable in shutting down opposing offenses.


Looking at the overall performance of both teams, the Predators have had a slight edge in terms of offensive production. They have averaged 2 goals per game compared to the Devils' 1.33 goals per game in their previous three matchups. However, the Devils have been strong defensively, allowing an average of only 2 goals against per game.


Based on these statistics, it is expected to be a closely contested game between the Nashville Predators and the New Jersey Devils. The Predators will rely on their offensive firepower led by Ryan O'Reilly and Tyson Barrie, while the Devils will look to their defensive core, including Jonas Siegenthaler, to keep the game competitive.
