After handing a defeat to the Tampa Bay Lightning, the NHL-best Nashville Predators face off against another tough Atlantic Division opponent, the Boston Bruins. This is the first of two times the teams square off. With an all-time head-to-head record of 12-12-1-2, the matchup consists of a lot of back and forth. The past two seasons Nashville and Boston have split the series.
What to Watch for
The toughest task the Nashville Predators will face is containing Boston’s top line of Brad Marchand, David Pastrnak, and Patrice Bergeron. Pastrnak is tied for the league-lead in goals (11), and Bergeron is tied for fourth in the league in points (19).
