The Nashville Predators return from their bye week and host the Arizona Coyotes tonight. Historically, this first game has been a tough one for the Preds, who’ve struggled in their returns from breaks. The Coyotes lost their own return on Thursday, a 3-2 decision by the Vegas Golden Knights.
Clayton Keller has been the standout star for the Coyotes. His 21 goals and 46 points lead the team, while his 25 assists are only just behind Matias Maccelli for the lead. Maccelli and Nick Schmaltz are second and third in points with 33 and 30, while Lawson Crouse and Michael Carcone are the runners-up in goals with 19 and 15.
