The Preds hit the road again, albeit briefly, for the first of two parts of a Central Division swing. They haven’t won a game since November 23rd, and we’d all like to see them turn in some kind of better performance than we’ve seen lately. There were promising signs in some of their recent losses, but a promising sign doesn’t make an evening all by itself.
The injured list has only grown, with Roman Josi expected to miss tonight’s game as well. Ryan O’Reilly and Jeremy Lauzon skated this morning, according to Brooks Bratten, but — as of this morning, at least — were still expected to be absent, as is Alex Carrier.
