The Nashville Predators and the Los Angeles Kings met again tonight for the first time since November. The Predators were just one point behind the Winnipeg Jets in the Central Division. Meanwhile, the Kings were just trying to make it through the season with some dignity.
With Craig Smith placed on IR earlier in the afternoon, and speculation about Viktor Arvidsson, who was absent at morning skate, there was a lot of questions about what tonight’s lines would look like.
