Nashville Predators News & Notes:
The Nashville Predators come into Canada Life Centre just one point ahead of the Winnipeg Jets. The Predators are looking to rebound from a 3-1 loss to the Edmonton Oilers on Sunday night. Nashville doesn’t have the same look to their bottom-six, as they sent a couple of depth pieces and AHL players out at the trade deadline. Nashville is 3-5-2 in their last 10 games played.
Winnipeg Jets News & Notes:
Winnipeg looks to gain more ground in a potential playoff push with a win over the Nashville Predators tonight. The Jets are coming off back-to-back wins against Colorado and St. Louis, and they hold a 6-2-2 record in their last 10 games played. The Jets will be watching the standings like a hawk, but in the meantime, they’ll also be focusing on stringing together more wins to leapfrog Nashville and other teams.
