Red Wings vs Predators Prediction, Picks, Odds & Start Time (Monday, Mar. 2)
By Darren Cooper in NHL Hockey
Published:
- Nashville hosts Detroit in a rare 2 p.m. ET Monday matinee on ESPN, with both teams jockeying for playoff position.
- Underdogs have won each of the last three meetings between these two teams. Detroit is a puck line favorite.
- I have your expert Red Wings vs Predators prediction, pick, odds breakdown and explanation for the early start time down below.
Detroit (30-30 ATS) visits Nashville (31-28 ATS) Monday, Mar. 2, with the NHL trade deadline looming in the background.
Both teams could be buyers with Detroit trying to stop a nine-year playoff drought, and Nashville just a few points out of the last wild card spot in the West.
I’m not trading my prediction for Red Wings vs Predators on Monday and have all the inside information you need, plus my picks and a look at the odds.
Red Wings vs Predators Prediction
Detroit looks like a challenger in the Eastern Conference, coming in with 74 points and tops in the wild card standings. Dylan Larkin looked like a star for Team USA in the Olympics. The 29-year-old has finally become the player Wings fans were hoping for.
Wings winger Alex DeBrincat is twelfth in the NHL with 30 goals this season. He didn’t make the Olympic team and is playing like a man who’s mad about it.
The big story in Nashville is exactly what they are going to do with Stave Stamkos. The 36-year-old has had an incredible season with 30 goals, leading the Preds. Nashville enters three points out of the last wild card spot in the West. Do they deal Stamkos at the deadline (back to Tampa maybe?) and cash in this season, or do they try to chase down one of the last few playoff spots?
Red Wings vs Predators Picks
- Nashville +1.5 (-275 at BetMGM)
- Over 6 (-125 at BetMGM)

It’s the final game of a five-game road trip for Detroit, sandwiched around the Olympic break (what was the score of that gold medal game again?). The Wings got pounded by Carolina 5-2 on Saturday.
Nashville is 16-12 at home this season, and I think the vibe at Bridgestone Arena will be wild with the early start time, giving Nashville a boost. Saros has been the hardest-working goalie in the NHL. He’s allowed the most shots (1,267), made the most saves (1,130) and allowed the most goals (137) in the league this season.
Nashville is coming off a tough 3-2 loss to red-hot Dallas on Saturday. The Predators led 2-0 after one period, but couldn’t hold on and lost in OT.
Nashville has the offensive firepower to match Detroit. Stamkos has really had a good year and has scored in both games since the Olympic break ended. I like the over.

Five of the last eight meetings between these two teams have hit the under. Only one of the last 10 meetings has gone into overtime.
The line here is pretty standard across the board. You can get Detroit -105 on the moneyline at DraftKings and FanDuel, and the best Nashville moneyline bet is at BetMGM.
Detroit has covered the puck line in each of their last 10 games on Monday, but I doubt any of those games started at 2 p.m. Detroit is 28-30-2 over/under, while Nashville is 29-28-2 against the total.

Red Wings vs Predators Start Time
Seeking to capitalize on momentum from the Olympics (final score: USA 2, Canada 1), the NHL moved this game to a 2 p.m. ET start time so it can be shown at 8 p.m. CET (Central European Time).
The Predators are one of the NHL’s most diverse teams with Filip Forsberg (Sweden), goalie Juuse Saros (Finland) along with Swiss captain Roman Josi. Detroit features young German defenseman Moritz Seider.
