Game Preview: Nashville Predators vs. Winnipeg Jets 1/20/22
The Nashville Predators have lost four straight after a fantastic road trip, with the losses ranging from embarrassing to boring to four-point. They’re looking at another of those four-point games tonight as they take on the Winnipeg Jets in an attempt to right the ship.
The Jets are missing a lot of players to a combination of COVID-19 protocol and standard injuries. Blake Wheeler and CJ Suess are probably not yet ready to return, while Nikolaj Ehlers—injured in the Jets’ last game—definitely isn’t. We may or may not see Brendan Dillon, Paul Stastny, Nathan Beaulieu, and Ville Heinola (who entered protocol before even playing his first NHL game of the season, ouch).
