Exchange buyers before puck drop: Nashville Predators at Vegas Golden Knights
Kalshi, Polymarket, Novig and ProphetX listed this game, but not enough traded before kickoff to show the buyers (we show markets with at least 10 trades and $500 traded).
Polymarket US: prices only
Polymarket US lists moneyline, spread and alternate and period lines for this game. No trade split yet for these markets (none captured, or too few to show), so they show prices only. Polymarket US is a separate venue from Polymarket (international) and is never added into its numbers.

๐ New to betting? Two-minute translation. A moneyline bet is picking who wins, nothing else. In this game, +150 means a $100 bet profits $150 if it wins. The spread is a head start: -7.5 must win by 8+, while +7.5 cashes by losing by 7 or fewer (or winning). The total is combined points by both teams, over or under the books' number. +EV means the price pays better than the market-implied fair odds (vig removed); consistently taking better prices raises your expected return over time.

Golden Knights vs Predators Prediction: Why This Price Matters
Eighty-nine percent of moneyline tickets on this game are on Vegas. Meanwhile, a Nov 12 headline says the Predators just won their sixth straight game. When the crowd leans that hard one way, the other side's price is where we start. Predators vs Golden Knights drops the puck Friday, November 13 at 10:00 PM ET at T-Mobile Arena, on ESPN+ and Scripps Sports.
The Matchup: Who Is Favored to Win Predators vs Golden Knights?
As of publication, the Nashville Predators are 10-4-5 and the Vegas Golden Knights are 13-5-2. In a hockey record the third number counts overtime or shootout losses, which still earn a standings point. The Predators sit 2nd of 8 in the Central Division. The Golden Knights lead the season series 1-0, and this is a conference game. Over their last five games, the Predators scored 4 goals and allowed 3 per game on 29.4 shots.
The Golden Knights scored 2.6 and allowed 2.4 per game over their last five, on 25.4 shots, and a Nov 12 headline says they also bring a winning streak home. The listed starting goalies are J. Annunen for the Predators and C. Hart for the Golden Knights, even though J. Saros and A. Hill each started 3 of their team's last five.
Players to Watch
Jack Eichel leads the Golden Knights with 26 points over 20 games, or 1.3 per game. Filip Forsberg leads the Predators with 22 points over 19 games, or 1.2 per game. On a per-game basis, the two top scorers are close. Eichel has averaged 1.2 points and 2.4 shots on goal per game over his last five games. Forsberg has averaged 1.0 point and 2.2 shots over his last five, and 1.4 points per game over his last ten. Past games are context, not a promise.
The Numbers: Predators Odds and Golden Knights Odds
The moneyline is a straight bet on who wins. The Golden Knights are the favorite at -150, best at Hard Rock Bet. A $100 bet there profits $66.67. The puck line is hockey's point spread. Golden Knights -1.5 at +165 (theScore Bet) needs a win by two or more and breaks even at 37.7%. That is the lowest break-even on the board, but it is a separate bet that lives on the margin. The total is 6.5 goals. Fourteen books opened that total anywhere from 5.5 to 6.5. These best prices are spread across four books, which is why shopping matters.
Where the Value Is
The vig is the sportsbook's built-in fee. Strip it out and the market reads this about 59.9% Golden Knights, 40.1% Predators. That is the market-implied split, not a certainty. Predators +150 breaks even at 40%. Every puck line and total side is negative: Over minus $3.25, Under minus $1.32, Predators +1.5 minus $0.42, Golden Knights -1.5 minus $1.15. For context only, Novig exchange traders put 67% of moneyline money on the Predators.
Who Is Out for the Predators and Golden Knights?
Noah Hanifin (D) is Out for the Golden Knights. Jonathan Marchessault (RW) is Out for the Predators. Each side is missing one player.

The Prediction
Predators 3, Golden Knights 2. A Predators team scoring 4 per game lately runs into a Golden Knights team allowing 2.4, and that points us to a tight, one-goal game. At +150 we only need the Predators to win a bit more than 40% of the time. That is our read on this price. The Desk posts a documented free play on days like this, and it sits right below.
