After a strong performance, but ultimate loss against, the Carolina Hurricanes on January 18, the Nashville Predators were hungry for a quick turnaround to test themselves against the Hurricanes once again. Unfortunately, the second game in the back to back was cancelled on January 19 after five Hurricanes players were placed in COVID-19 protocols.

Tonight this makeup game against a strong Carolina Hurricanes team will reveal whether the Predators are finally starting to gain a modicum of momentum or are just recent beneficiaries of a favorable schedule.
