"Ø"Ø ABOUT THE PREDATORS
Nashville is 4-4-2 in its last 10 and coming off a 2-1 OT win over Carolina Jan. 2, in which Mattias Ekholm played the hero with the game-winner. It was the first time, after six previous tries, in which the Preds were able to escape the new OT format with a 'W.'
In the Jets' last meeting with the Preds, in Nashville Nov. 14, they were pummelled 7-0. The teams will meet three more times after tonight, with all three games at the MTS Centre.
The Jets have had their woes against Central Division rivals, with a 3-10-0 record, but the Predators have also struggled, going 4-6-1.
