After a shootout win against the Detroit Red Wings on Tuesday, the Nashville Predators faced off against Detroit once again tonight. If you thought the pre-game would mostly focus on the “Ry Jo Slo Mo” shootout goal from the previous game, you were only partially right.
The injury report and lines for the Predators quickly produced shock and angst among the Predators faithful before the puck even hit the ice. While the absence of Dante Fabbro was anticipated, the news that Eeli Tolvanen would miss due to a lower-body injury sent shock waves through the gold and blue Twitterverse.
