The Nashville Predators have one last game before the holiday break–a matinee against division rivals the Dallas Stars. It’ll be the first time this season these teams face off.
Former Pred Matt Duchene has settled in well in Dallas, coming in third in points (29), third in assists (18), and tied for second in goals (11) with Roope Hintz. He’ll likely be motivated tonight to show the team that unexpectedly bought him out what they’re missing out on. Craig Smith has also landed in Dallas, but he’s slowed down offensively this season (and picked up a fighting major).
