The Nashville Predators will look to continue to build off of recent wins and tenacious play tonight as they return home to take on the Winnipeg Jets. Their last outing, an 8-3 thrashing of the St Louis Blues, brought day-after-Thanksgiving joy to many.
The Jets are having a successful season so far, with good even-strength play backed up by great shooting and adequate goaltending. Their special teams have been weaker, but the team as a whole is still a formidable threat.
Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele are tied for the lead in points with 22 each; Connor has scored 14 goals, while Scheifele has put up 15 assists, tying with defender Josh Morrissey for the assists lead.
