The Nashville Predators visit the Florida Panthers at Amerant Bank Arena on Dec. 4.

The Predators are coming off their biggest win of the season on Dec. 2, beating the Calgary Flames 5-1 at Bridgestone Arena. Nashville (9-13-4, 22 points) have won three of their last four games ahead of a two-game road trip.

Ryan O’Reilly leads the Predators with eight goals and 11 assists in 26 games.

Florida (12-12-1, 25 points) are in eighth place in the Atlantic Division, a disappointing start for back-to-back defending Stanley Cup champions. Long term injuries to star forwards Aleksander Barkov and Matthew Tkachuk are limiting the Panthers early this season, though Brad Marchand has done his part in their absence – he leads the team with 15 goals and 12 assists.

The goaltending battle should feature Juuse Saros for the Predators and Sergei Bobrovsky for the Panthers.
