The Nashville Predators are almost done with their northern road trip, and I for one will be glad to see it end — it’s been a string of losses, some close and some not-so-close.
The Ottawa Senators
It has, at least, been a rough season for the Sens as well — but then, the same is true of the Canadiens, who shut the Preds out on Thursday.
Tim Stützle (10G/20A), Brady Tkachuk (13G/16A), and Drake Batherson (9G/18A) are the runaway scoring leaders, with a steep falloff from Batherson’s 27 points to Josh Norris and Claude Giroux’s 17.
