Putting the weak opponent aside in the LA Kings, the Nashville Predators got the win thanks to disciplined and smart hockey on Saturday night. They ended their three-game losing streak despite being without multiple key players to their starting lineup.
Ryan Ellis, Matt Duchene, Colton Sissons and Dante Fabbro all missed this, evening out the deck of cards against one of the worst teams in the NHL in the Kings. It’s never a lock to beat any team in the league, especially when you’re missing four starters.
The Predators leaned on their role players and guys recently called up from the Milwaukee Admirals to score four goals and get a relatively comfortable win.
