Tkachuk reaches 20-goal, 40-point marks
Brady Tkachuk scored a power-play goal on nine shots and added an assist in Saturday’s 6-0 win over the Wild. Tkachuk has three points over his last three contests after going 10 games without a point. The winger also had a rarity in this outing, going without a hit for just the third time all season. The 25-year-old is up to 20 goals, 41 points (16 on the power play), 210 shots on net, 178 hits, 97 PIM and a plus-4 rating over 52 appearances.
Saros displays strong effort in loss
Juuse Saros made 33 saves on 35 shots in Saturday’s 3-0 loss to the Penguins. Pittsburgh’s final goal was scored on an empty net. Saros returned to the crease after missing Friday’s contest in Buffalo due to an illness. He looked good close to the net but surrendered two shots from long distance to Philip Tomasino and Sidney Crosby. The 29-year-old keeper now has an 11-21-6 record, four shutouts, a .902 save percentage and a 2.84 GAA across 39 contests this season. Saros should continue to receive the majority of the opportunities to guard Nashville’s net, but as the Predators have just 43 points on the year, he will have less value in leagues that value goalie wins. The netminder’s next chance to start will be at home Monday against the Senators.
Senators vs. Predators Betting Prediction
Take Ottawa. The Senators are red-hot entering play tonight in Nashville. They’ve won four straight games, with three of those wins coming as slight-to-moderate favorites and the other as an underdog. They’re also 7-2-1 in their last 10 games overall and also won two out of their last three games. Meanwhile, the Predators have lost four straight games overall, all of which as favorites. One of those defeats, a 5-2 loss to the Ducks, came with Nashville as a -199 moneyline fave.
