The night after their first win in Glendale in three years, the Nashville Predators hope to keep building on that. Like the Preds, the Colorado Avalanche are on the second half of a back-to-back, having beaten the St. Louis Blues handily on Thursday night.
Both teams are tired and both teams are fighting for positioning—the Predators want home ice in the playoffs, and the Avalanche want to make the playoffs. There’s a lot on the line in this divisional matchup.
The Preds have won their last nine games against the Avalanche, with the most recent of those wins coming in OT.
