Vladimir Tarasenko got to spend an extra day in Nashville, waiting on the Blues. Will they show up?
The Nashville Predators just concluded a weekend of All Star festivities. The party's over, and the break may have thrown off the Preds' winning ways. They've won four in a row, though to be honest the opponents they've beaten on the road leading up to the break weren't difficult: Winnipeg, Edmonton, Vancouver, and Calgary. Those four teams don't strike fear in the hearts of many.
But two points are two points. The Blues before the break, in contrast to the Preds, were 1-1-1.
