The Nashville Predators will be desperate for a Game 6 victory on home ice against the Vancouver Canucks on Friday, and we’re offering our best Canucks vs. Predators predictions based on the best NHL odds.
The Nashville Predators (47-30-5) still have a mountain to climb, trailing the Vancouver Canucks 3-2. The Canucks (50-23-9) are on the verge of Round 2 clash with the Edmonton Oilers despite a historically low shot count in the NHL playoffs. The action begins in Nashville, Tenn., at 7 p.m. ET on Friday (TNT).
The Predators are favored to win Game 6, according to our best sports betting sites. They’ll be eager to secure their first postseason victory at Bridgestone Arena in 2024. Both teams currently have longer Stanley Cup odds than most other remaining playoff participants.
To accompany our Stars vs. Golden Knights predictions, here are our best Predators vs. Canucks predictions and NHL picks (odds via our best NHL betting sites; Pick confidence based on a 1-to-5-star scale).

No matter how you slice it, the Predators deserve better in this first-round series. Their wholesale implosion on home ice in Game 4 is Exhibit A.
The Predators dominated most of the contest, yet saw their two-goal lead with under three minutes remaining evaporate. Brock Boeser tied the game with six seconds remaining and Elias Lindholm won it in overtime. Don’t expect Nashville to make the same mistake twice.
The Predators also dominated Game 3, holding the Canucks to 12 shots on goal. They would have won had it not been for a spectacular Casey DeSmith performance.
And now the team holds nothing to show for either solid display. Look for Nashville to set the record straight on Friday. Four of our best sports betting sites offer -130 odds, which pays a profit of $7.69 on a winning $10 bet. The -130 odds imply a 56.52% probability.
Best odds: –130 via bet365
It feels like Roman Josi is shifting into fifth gear at an opportune time. He’s notched a point in each of the last two games, including scoring the Game 5 equalizer.
Josi has tallied two assists in five games thus far, including one at home. His 0.4 assists per game in the series is substantially lower than Josi’s season average of .76. That regression is expected, especially considering the low-scoring, tight-checking nature of the series.
However, the Preds’ captain is a player who thrives under the spotlight. Running out of time to win a Stanley Cup, the 33-year-old will have a point to prove in Game 6. He also saves his best stuff for Bridgestone Arena, where Josi has registered 32 assists across 41 regular-season home games.
DraftKings offers the best value at -110. The implied probability is 52.38%, and a winning $10 bet pays a profit of $9.09.

Filip Forsberg finished the regular season with 48 goals. But he’s recorded just two in five postseason games and is itching to break out. The onus is on the veteran marksman to increase his goal production for the Predators to win Game 6. He scored 22 goals in 41 regular-season home contests and is the focal point of the Predators’ power play, which is reeling at 10.5%.
A goal with the man advantage, which is his best chance to light the lamp, could make all the difference. Like his captain, Forsberg raises his level in showcase games, and the script is set for him.
FanDuel offers the best value at +110. The implied probability, via our odds converter, is 47.62%. A winning $10 bet pays a profit of $11.
