The Nashville Predators look to start the new year off right today by rebounding after a pair of tough losses. This afternoon’s opponent, the Chicago Blackhawks, have had a rough season, with an 11-15-4 record to date, and haven’t played since December 18th. Whether they’ll be rusty or rested remains to be seen.
The Preds are still missing Roman Josi, Colton Sissons, and Tommy Novak to COVID-19 protocol, but hopefully the remaining members of the team can pick up the slack. Juuse Saros will presumably get the start, and it would be great for the top line to start contributing meaningfully on the scoresheet again.
