The NHL Odds and Lines section offers a variety of betting options, including making the playoffs, Stanley Cup odds, conference odds, division odds, and more. The current betting lines for Game 5 favour the Predators by 1 1/2, with the total set at 5.
Despite the favourable betting lines, the Stars have performed well against the Predators in recent games, winning 7 out of the last 9 games against them, according to the ATS record. However, the Predators' form has been inconsistent as they have only won 2 out of their last 8 games against the spread.
The expert pick for the final score of Game 5 is Dallas Stars 1 - Nashville Predators 3. In addition, it's worth noting that in 11 of the last 16 games for the Predators, the total has gone under, while in 4 of the last 6 games on the road for the Stars, the total has also gone under.
The coach of the Predators during the 2019 Stanley Cup playoff series against the Stars was Peter Laviolette. Barry Trotz, who had previously coached the Predators, was not their coach at that time. Laviolette was head coach of the Predators starting in 2017 through 2020.
The Dallas Stars won Game 4 of the series with a 5-1 blowout, and will be hoping to continue their momentum in Game 5. The Predators, on the other hand, will be looking to bounce back and level the series once again.
With both teams in excellent form and the series finely balanced, Game 5 promises to be a thrilling encounter.
