The good news: the Nashville Predators have a chance to wash the bad taste of last night’s game out of everyone’s mouths with strong play and a win tonight. The bad news: the Montreal Canadiens are a tough opponent this year, with good goaltending, sound defense, and multiple lines that are threats to score.
Winning the second half of a back-to-back is tricky, winning on the road is tricky, and doing both at once is extra tricky. It’s not that the Predators can’t do it, but they’ll have to put in more effort than we saw last night.
