Nashville Predators vs Pittsburgh Penguins Prediction - 11/16/2025
Updated July 9, 2026
The Nashville Predators and Pittsburgh Penguins are set to clash for a second time this weekend in the NHL Global Series in Stockholm. Steven Stamkos buried an overtime winner just 44 seconds into the extra session in a 2–1 for the Predators in the first game between these teams in Sweden on Friday. Here, I break down this rematch from across the pond and give you my Predators vs Penguins prediction for Sunday morning here in the states.
Pick: Under 6.5
Confidence: ★★★★☆
Pittsburgh comes into this game with a record of 9–5–4, while the Predators sit at 6–9–4. The Penguins have lost three games in a row, including an overtime loss in Stockholm on Friday. Nashville broke a long losing streak of their own in the win over the Pens on Friday and they will aim for a second straight victory in this contest.
The key to this game for both teams will be generating scoring more effectively than they did on Friday. There were two goals scored in regulation in Friday's game before Stamkos delivered the winner in overtime. The team that can find some scoring in this game will head back to the states with momentum on its side.
Juuse Saros is expected to be in goal again for Nashville. He had a good game on Friday, stopping 16 of the 17 shots he faced from the Penguins. Arturs Silovs should be in goal again for the Pens after a day off. He saved 28 of the 30 shots that he faced on Friday and will try to be a brick wall against the Preds again Sunday.
For the Predators, Filip Forsberg remains their offensive engine. He leads the Predators with 15 points and 8 assists so far this season. He will try to outperform the veteran duo of Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin. Malkin leads the Pens with 22 points and an impressive 18 assists. Crosby leads the Penguins with 11 goals, including six goals on the power play.
Player | Prop |
|---|---|
Filip Forsberg (NSH) | Over 0.5 Points |
Sidney Crosby (PIT) | Over 0.5 Goals |
Evgeni Malkin (PIT) | Over 0.5 Assists |
I think that we are in for another close game between the Predators and Penguins in this game. More than anything else, I think we will see a low-scoring game between these two teams again. I'll take the under in this matchup in a game that could go down to the wire.
