Pittsburgh Penguins vs Nashville Predators Prediction & Picks, October 24, 2026

The Pittsburgh Penguins have been struggling lately, winning only 3 of their last 10 games. They have also been a bit less aggressive than usual, landing fewer hits than the league average, which could affect their chances of controlling the game. However, they have home ice at PPG Paints Arena, which often gives teams a little boost. The Nashville Predators are in the same boat, also winning just 3 of their last 10 games. This matchup is rated very close, almost like a coin flip. Still, I think the Penguins can pull out a win here.

Pittsburgh Penguins vs Nashville Predators: Nashville Predators 2nd Period Moneyline (-104)

The Nashville Predators face off against the Pittsburgh Penguins at PPG Paints Arena, and it looks like a tight matchup. Both teams have new players, with some not even reaching ten games yet, which can make things unpredictable. The Predators have a solid chance, especially with their ability to score and the Penguins' struggle lately. Choosing the Predators for the second period moneyline seems smart since the game is rated almost like a coin flip. Both teams have strong shooters, but the Predators might have the upper hand in this period. The main risk here is how evenly matched they are, but I believe Nashville can pull through when it counts.

Pittsburgh Penguins vs Nashville Predators: Nashville Predators 3-Way Moneyline (+165)

The Penguins have struggled lately, winning only 3 of their last 10 games, while the Predators are in the same boat with the same record. Both teams are looking to find form, but the Predators might have a slight advantage here. Despite being the underdog, they have a real shot at winning, especially since they've got a mix of left and right shooters that can keep the Penguins' defense guessing. At PPG Paints Arena, the Penguins have shown some weaknesses, especially in their physical game, landing fewer hits than the league average. This could give the Predators a chance to take control of the game. Keep in mind, though, that both teams are closely matched, and the Penguins could always find a spark at home.

Pittsburgh Penguins vs Nashville Predators: Ville Koivunen Under 0.5 Points (-135)

Tonight at PPG Paints Arena, the Pittsburgh Penguins take on the Nashville Predators. Both teams have struggled lately, each winning only three of their last ten games. Ville Koivunen has been finding it tough to get on the scoreboard, and with the Penguins averaging fewer hits and blocks than the league, they might not put enough pressure on him to change that. The Predators have a mix of left and right shooters, which could make it harder for Koivunen to find scoring chances. He might not get the puck in the right spots, especially if the game stays tight and defensive. While the odds suggest a good chance for the under on his points, remember that he could still surprise us.

Pittsburgh Penguins vs Nashville Predators: Ville Koivunen Under 0.5 Assists (-256)

Ville Koivunen hasn't been making a big splash lately, and his chances for an assist tonight look slim. The Pittsburgh Penguins and Nashville Predators have both struggled lately, winning just 3 of their last 10 games. With both teams fighting for consistency, it's tough to see Koivunen stepping up significantly in this matchup. Playing at home, the Penguins have been solid defensively, blocking shots and limiting chances. Koivunen may find it hard to get involved, especially against a Predators team that has a mix of left and right shooters, making it tricky for him to find a play. The most concrete risk here is that both teams are in a similar slump, so anything could happen. But with the odds showing strong support for this pick, it's worth considering the under for his assists.
