After several days off, the Nashville Predators return to the ice tonight. In what is one of the best starts in team history, the defending Presidents’ Trophy winner sits in first place in the Central Division. The only blemish on the Predators’ early-season resume is a shutout loss to the Calgary Flames. A loss that came during the home opener after the team raised banners from last season’s success.
The Predators were impressive defending home ice after their loss to the Flames. They grounded the Winnipeg Jets, turned the Isles away, and calmed the Wild. Now, they take their game on the road for back-to-back games in Canada.
