The Nashville Predators face their third divisional opponent of the season on Tuesday night as they battle the Colorado Avalanche at Bridgestone. Colorado comes into the match up off a 1-3 loss to the Dallas Stars. Nashville has hopes of rebounding after a crushing 2-1 overtime defeat against the Chicago Black Hawks.
The conditions seem favorable for a hotly contested joust between two embattled opponents. Last season, the two met five times in games that saw a rather one-sided affair. The Predators swept the season series five games to none. Tuesday’s game is the first of four meetings this year.
