Nashville Predators coach Peter Laviolette said his team is now in the point-collecting business.
As it turned out, business was surprisingly good for Nashville last week on its road trip through California. After picking up "loser" points for shootout and overtime defeats in Anaheim and Los Angeles, respectively, it got two points with a 3-1 decision Saturday in San Jose that snapped a season-long four-game losing streak.
The Predators appear to have a good chance to earn more points and help their playoff chances Monday night with a home date against the struggling Winnipeg Jets in Bridgestone Arena, their only home game in a six-game span.
