The Nashville Predators have a chance to build off a statement win Tuesday night against the Minnesota Wild with tonight’s game against the Ottawa Senators. Their schedule from here on out is tough, and the Sens have had some issues this season; if the Preds can play up to their potential they could bank a much-needed two points here. However, we’ve seen them struggle against other opponents out or close to out of the playoff picture even very recently, so we’ll see.
The Sens have won three in a row, despite struggles at generating offense and maintaining defense at even strength, converting on the shots they do get, and not allowing opponent power plays to set up camp in their zone.
