"Ø"Ø ABOUT THE PREDS
Just 1-5-1 in the last seven games, the Predators start a four-game road trip tonight against the Jets. The trip carries on to Edmonton, Vancouver and Calgary before the all-star break.
After last Thursday's loss at the MTS Centre, the Preds are 7-11-5 on the road this season and just 5-10-2 in games against Central Division opponents. That includes three wins over Minnesota.
Nashville's defence corps, led by Roman Josi (32) and Shea Weber (29), have combined for the most points in the NHL, 111 so far this season.
The Preds dominated last Thursday's game in the faceoff circle, winning 60 per cent of the draws that night, including the last 11 of the game, but still lost.
