When the Nashville Predators started a four-game homestand on Tuesday night by beating the St. Louis Blues, it appeared they would ride the momentum from it and roll through the remaining three games.
The Predators erased a 3-0 third-period deficit and won on Filip Forsberg's penalty shot in overtime.
Only it hasn't worked that way. Consecutive losses to Calgary and Detroit not only ended a seven-game points streak, but brought to light issues that plagued the team even when they were piling up points in that run.
Nashville finds itself needing a win Monday night against the Ottawa Senators to salvage a split of its once-promising homestand.
