One of the most uneven NHL Inter-Conferences games that will take place next Monday, December 23rd corresponds to the clash between Nashville Predators and Carolina Hurricanes. These teams are definitely crossing through very opposite performances in the current season, so it isn’t surprising to have Carolina Hurricanes as the favorites to win this game.

When looking deeper at Nashville Predators’ performance, this team has already left the bottom spot of the Central Division after their overtime victory over Los Angeles Kings (3-2). That result was their second game in a row in which they aren’t able to win in regulation time, not being surprising at all to find them as the worst offensive in the Central Division with just 79 scored goals.

Meanwhile, Carolina Hurricanes is currently occupying the third spot of the of the Metropolitan Division, keeping as the third best offensive with 116 scored goals and as the second-best defensive with just 91 conceded goals. Nonetheless, it must be remarked that the Hurricanes haven’t been able to score more than 4 goals since their 5-3 victory over Colorado Avalanche last December 05th.
