Nashville Predators 2025-26 NHL Betting Lines
A sense of mediocrity has set in with the Nashville Predators. Now the question for 2025-26 is if the Predators can reassert themselves as a playoff team. After eight consecutive playoff appearances, including the 2017 Stanley Cup Final, the Nashville Predators have missed the postseason in two of their previous three seasons. In 2024, Nashville was eliminated in the first round by the Vancouver Canucks. That defeat became a harbinger of what was to come. This season, Nashville was never in the Western Conference playoff hunt. In fact, the roof caved in on the Predators. Nashville has among the most abysmal metrics in the NHL. They were proven to be a team lacking in every facet of the game.

Off-Season Moves for 2025-26
In: Erik Haula, Nicolas Hague, Nick Perbix
Out: Colton Sissons, Jeremy Lauzon
After “winning” the offseason last year, the Predators decided to go in a different direction this summer. Erik Haula isn’t much of an upgrade over Colton Sissons, and while Nicolas Hague holds some promise, he doesn’t have the top-four experience that Jeremy Lauzon has. Nick Perbix also feels a little redundant to some of the lesser-known options the team already has, too. The end result is more of the same, but probably a little worse.
The Predators' dismal finish in 2024-25 made it clear the team had holes it needed to fill this summer, with the aim of finding experienced players. That process began by acquiring an experienced top-nine, two-way winger in Haula, who is an eight-time 20-goal scorer and can also serve as an anchor on the penalty kill.
GM Barry Trotz also landed a pair of defensemen in Hague and Perbix. Both have logged top-four minutes as fill-in replacements. Could they be entrusted with those types of roles on a more permanent basis in Nashville?
Key Players
LW Filip Forsberg is the marquee man of the Preds. Forsberg has played his entire career in Nashville and is a two-time NHL All-Star. He scored 48 goals in 2024. This past season, he scored 31 goals, recorded 43 assists, and totaled 74 points.
C Ryan O’Reilly is an NHL journeyman who played for the Colorado Avalanche, Buffalo Sabres, St. Louis Blues, and the Toronto Maple Leafs. He is recognized as a key leader and component of the Blues' 2019 Stanley Cup championship. O’Reilly was the Conn Smythe Trophy winner as the playoff MVP. This Past season, he has 20 goals, 30 assists, and 50 points.
D Roman Josi is one of the best top-line defensemen in the game. He broke into the NHL with the Predators in 2012-13 and is a four-time NHL All-Star. In 2024, he scored 23 goals with 62 assists. This past season, he has nine goals, 29 assists, and 38 points, but also an ugly -26.
Goaltenders
Number one goaltender Juuse Saros had a save percentage of .906. He began his NHL career in 2016-17. He is a two-time NHL All-Star. This past season, Saros had a 3.02 goals against average and a .894 save percentage. His record was 19-31-6 with four shutouts.
Head Coach
Head coach Andrew Brunette previously served in that role for the Florida Panthers, where he led the team to a 51-18-6 record and won the Atlantic Division title. But a second-round playoff exit cost him his job. This will be his third season at Nashville.

Nashville Predators History
Founded as an expansion team in 1998, the Nashville Predators have faced a few close calls regarding ownership and finances, but are now firmly established as a vital part of the Music City scene. Country music singers wasted no time in taking to the sport. One of the biggest music stars in the country, Carrie Underwood, ended up marrying one of the biggest Predator stars in team history, Mike Fisher. Team traditions include throwing catfish on the ice, like the Detroit Red Wings' octopus toss. Fans love the Music City scene on the Nashville strip before and after games.
In the 2016-17 season, the Predators reached their peak in popularity by making the Stanley Cup Final. Nashville lost the Final to the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-2. But during that series, the hockey world was introduced to “Smashville” and its amazing culture. While the Bridgestone Arena was packed, the streets of Nashville were also. Fans partied up and down the famed strip during that series.
The following season was a letdown as Nashville posted its best regular season in franchise history, only to be eliminated in the second round. Since then, the Preds have declined to become a reliable playoff team, but nothing more than that.
Two years ago, goaltender Pekka Rinne, a franchise icon and a big part of that 2017 run, retired. His number was retired by the Preds earlier this season. Rinne was one of the most dominant goaltenders in this era and represented the Preds in a first-class manner.
