Dallas - Nashville. NHL prediction (8 March 2021)

"Dallas" were finally able to end their losing streak, which reached four matches, beating "Columbus" in the return leg 5-0. Finally, the "Stars" were able to show their strong side, which is strong defense. It is worth noting the goalkeeper Ottinger, who deflected all the shots, thereby completing the "cracker".

The stars have been on the decline for a long time, which is why they are constantly losing points. The team remains in seventh place in the Central Division standings with 18 points, just one more than "Detroit" in the last position. But getting off to a late start with "Dallas" in this regular season, there is still time to regain the lead.

"Nashville" had a five-league home streak that started off quite well with two wins over "Columbus" (2-1 and 3-1). True, it was not possible to consolidate the success of the "Preds", the team could not cope with "Carolina" (2:4), and was also defeated twice by "Florida" (2:5 and 2:6).

The "Predators" also fail away to consistently earn points. In just three games out of ten, they managed to win, defeating "Florida" (6:5 OT), "Columbus" (4:2) and "Detroit" (2:0). The main problem for "Nashville" remains weak defense, which leads to a large number of goals conceded.
