Minutes after the Nashville Predators' 10-game winning streak ended Saturday night with a 3-2 shootout loss to New Jersey, coach Peter Laviolette had moved on to the next one.
"We don't ever talk about streaks really," Laviolette said. "We have a huge game coming up. When we do come back to work, we're probably only going to talk about that and getting ready for Winnipeg. We'll look at it to stretch out the division, and they're going to look at it to close the gap. Both teams are going to fight pretty hard for it."
The teams' fourth meeting of the season takes place Tuesday night in Bridgestone Arena, the finale to Nashville's four-game homestand and Winnipeg's six-game road trip.
