The Nashville Predators visit the Chicago Blackhawks at United Center on Nov. 28, the first of four meetings with their Central Division rivals.

Nashville (7-12-4, 18 points) ended a losing streak on Nov. 26 with a 6-3 win over the Detroit Red Wings. The Predators scored five goals in the third period, their most in a period since 2019. Goaltender Justus Annunen made 28 saves and earned his first win of the season.

Filip Forsberg leads the Predators with nine goals and eight assists, skating 19:08 minutes per game.

Chicago (10-8-5, 25 points) are in fifth place in the Central Division, a surprising start for a team that finished in eighth place last season. However, they have dropped four straight, including a 4-3 overtime loss to the Minnesota Wild on Nov. 26.

Connor Bedard leads the Blackhawks with 14 goals and 19 assists. He has 13 more points than the next scorer on the Blackhawks and he ranks fourth in the NHL in scoring.

The goaltending matchup should feature Juuse Saros for the Predators and Spencer Knight for the Blackhawks.
