The Nashville Predators (33-28-9, 19-13-3 Home) will try to make it five in a row Tuesday night when they host the San Jose Sharks (32-30-6, 15-18-1 Away) at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, TN. Fans can enjoy the action once the puck drops at 8 p.m. EST and follow it on ESPN+.
Like many games at this time of year, it comes with potential playoff implications. Nashville currently sits in the second wildcard spot with 75 points, with San Jose a couple of spots behind with 70. So, every win means more, and every loss can be costly. The Predators last played on Sunday when they faced the Blackhawks in Chicago. The Blackhawks took a 2-1 lead after the second period, but Nashville was able to tie it up in the third and send it to overtime, where they secured a 3-2 win. As for San Jose, the Sharks have not been doing as well. They last played on Saturday, when they hosted the Flyers and lost 4-1, marking their fourth straight blowout loss (5-0, 5-3, and 7-4).
Nashville has not lost a home game since the Predators hosted Detroit on March 2 (4-2). San Jose’s last road win was also their last win (March 14 @ Montreal).

Our Nashville Predators vs San Jose Sharks Prediction
When there is such a big discrepancy between the percentage of tickets and handle, it typically means the sharps are going one way and the public another. But I can’t see a reason to get behind the Sharks. They’ve lost four in a row; Nashville has won four in a row. The Predators are a solid road team while the Sharks are a sub-.500 road team. Nashville has allowed 2.3 goals over its last ten games; San Jose has allowed 3.7.
Nashville is the better team, absolutely should win this game, and could cover, but the moneyline is the safer bet.
