The tilt would prove to be a pivotal match-up for a Stars team looking to bank points against their Central Division rival as they try to keep pace in the Western Conference Wild Card race. This was only the second meeting against the Predators this season, the first resulting in an emphatic home loss back in the early portion of the schedule. The Predators came into the evening holding the second spot in the Central Division, providing the Stars a stiff test as they try to find some consistency in their overall game.
