For the first time this season, the Blues get a visit from the Nashville Predators. Since the Preds came into the league, the two teams are evenly matched. The Blues have a 58-58-4 record against Nashville, with a slight edge at home with a 34-35-1 record. Two teams that play each other so closely, well, they build a rivalry. Factor in that Nashville’s just a quick four and a half drive away from St. Louis, and you have a recipe for two teams that don’t care for each other much.
The Blues/Blackhawks rivalry has traditionally hogged the spotlight, and with good reason.
