Predators vs. Penguins: Key predictions

• Penguins win probability: 54.8%
• Predators win probability: 45.2%

Dimers' NHL pregame model estimates how many goals each team is likely to score, accounting for factors such as recent form, shooting and save percentages, home-ice advantage, and rest.

These projections power our NHL predictions, which show the probability of each team winning, covering the puck line, and the total goals going over or under the betting line.
