Game Preview: Nashville Predators vs New Jersey Devils 1/26/23

The Nashville Predators play tonight before an extended break. Their opponent: the New Jersey Devils, who've put together a great season after years of struggles.

Nashville will be minus Alexandre Carrier. The team announced this morning that he'll be out 4-6 weeks with an upper-body injury. Kevin Gravel has been recalled from the Milwaukee Admirals.

This is rough news for Carrier and the Preds in general, and comes at a particularly challenging time. The Devils are near the top of the Metropolitan Division and have gotten there with consistently strong play. The closest thing to a salient weakness they have is that their power play and goaltending are only average.
