Pittsburgh PenguinsDrawNashville Predators
Pittsburgh Penguins host Nashville Predators in an NHL matchup on 24 October 2026. The Penguins sit 14th in the standings with 7 points from 7 games, while Nashville occupies 10th place with 9 points from 5 games. The visitors arrive in considerably better form and should be favoured to take the points.
Team form
Pittsburgh Penguins
Pittsburgh's recent stretch has been troubling. The Penguins have lost all five of their last matches, conceding 24 goals across those games—an average of 4.8 per outing. Their defensive structure has crumbled, and even when they score, the opposition finds the back of the net with ease. They managed only 12 goals in those five contests, averaging 2.4 per game. The road trip to Vegas, Colorado, Chicago and Washington exposed significant vulnerabilities, and they could not recover at home against Winnipeg. Offensively, the Penguins lack rhythm; defensively, they are porous.
Nashville Predators
Nashville presents a stark contrast. The Predators have won three of their last five, most recently defeating St. Louis 5-2 at home. They have scored 15 goals across those five matches—3.0 per game—and conceded only 13, a disciplined 2.6 per outing. Their wins over St. Louis and Montreal both came on the road or at home with convincing margins. The loss to Vegas was an outlier; their other defeat, to Minnesota, came by a single goal. Nashville's attack is functioning, and their defence is substantially tighter than Pittsburgh's.
Head-to-head
No head-to-head history is available between these teams.
Key factors
The gulf in recent form is the dominant factor. Pittsburgh's defensive fragility—conceding nearly five goals per game—meets a Nashville side that has found its offensive touch and maintained discipline at the back. The Predators' three wins in five games reflect both attacking potency and structural solidity; the Penguins' five consecutive losses suggest systemic problems that cannot be resolved in a single fixture. Nashville's ability to score at 3.0 goals per game and limit opponents to 2.6 gives them a clear tactical edge. Pittsburgh will need to tighten their rearguard dramatically, but there is little evidence from recent matches that they can do so quickly.
Prediction
Nashville's superior form, combined with Pittsburgh's defensive instability, points decisively toward an away victory. The Predators have demonstrated they can both score and defend effectively; the Penguins have shown neither consistency. While Pittsburgh may generate some offensive chances at home, their leaky defence makes them vulnerable to Nashville's attack. The visitors' record of 3 wins in 5 games, coupled with their ability to keep opponents to 2.6 goals per game, suggests they will manage the contest and emerge with the win.
Nashville Predators are strong favourites to win this match. The Penguins' defensive troubles and recent losing streak leave them poorly positioned to compete against a Predators side that has found rhythm on both ends of the ice. Expect Nashville to control the contest and secure the victory.
