Tonight the Nashville Predators (36-22-5) host the Colorado Avalanche (26-24-11) in Bridgestone Arena. The Central Division rivals faced each other in last season’s Stanley Cup Playoffs, but now the Avalanche sit just outside the Western Conference playoff bubble. While both teams have struggled as of late, the Predators and Avalanche enter this contest on win streaks. The Avalanche most recently defeated the Chicago Blackhawks 5-3 after plowing through the Winnipeg Jets 7-1. They are absolutely a dangerous team and not a group that the Predators should take lightly.
The Colorado Avalanche
Still boasting arguably the best line in hockey, the Colorado Avalanche can bury a team if given the chance.
