Roman Josi Assists Prediction: Under 0.5 vs Golden Knights — March 21 NHL Pick
Roman Josi's assists prop is a sharp contrarian play on tonight's NHL slate. The Nashville Predators defenseman faces the Vegas Golden Knights on March 21, and our model projects Josi to fall short of his 0.5-assist line. Here's why we're backing the Under.
Roman Josi Stats & Recent Form
Josi has been a inconsistent playmaker over his last five games, averaging 0.4 assists per contest. The elite Predators defenseman has hit the 1-assist mark in just two of his last ten outings, with a concerning trend of quiet nights defensively. While Josi remains one of the league's most talented puck-movers, recent usage patterns and shot generation metrics suggest he's in a down-assist cycle heading into this Vegas matchup.
Matchup Analysis: Nashville Predators vs Vegas Golden Knights
Vegas ranks seventh in defensive efficiency and has limited opposing defenseman playmaking in recent weeks, holding blue-liners to just 0.38 assists per game over their last six contests. The Golden Knights' forward pressure and gap control make it difficult for Nashville's back end to distribute clean outlet passes. With Nashville likely to play reactive defense in a potential low-event game, secondary scoring opportunities for Josi will be limited.
