Today the Nashville Predators (16-6-1) play the Anaheim Ducks (10-9-5) for the second time in thirteen days, having previously played at the Honda Center. That game resulted in a 2-1 shootout loss for the Predators, who are hoping the friendly confines of Bridgestone Arena aid them tonight.
Having played three playoff series against the Ducks in the last eight years, the animosity between these teams is only equivalent to what a parent feels when they step on a Lego. What has each team been up to since they last played?
The Anaheim Ducks
Since defeating the Predators in a shootout, the Ducks have gone from near the cellar of the Pacific division up to third.
