Sadly for the Nashville Predators, the five-game win streak came to a disappointing end. Nashville’s loss to the Minnesota Wild Thursday night hurt big time. Going into Thursday’s game, that win streak was the second longest active streak in the NHL, only behind the New York Rangers six-game streak. Now the focus shifts back home to take on another divisional foe: The Colorado Avalanche.
Colorado comes to Nashville fresh off a win that saw a pulverizing of the Washington Capitals by a score of six to two. That win ended a three-game losing streak. Overall, Colorado holds a 9-7-1 record, placing them in sixth place in the Central Division.
