The Preds emerged from their road trip with shootout wins against Dallas on either end of a relatively “meh...ok?” trip.
Eeli Tolvanen has placed himself in a position to succeed. When paired with Filip Forsberg and Ryan Johansen, Tolvanen has been excellent. Further, Juuse Saros has been excellent in two starts since returning from a suspected concussion.
The Preds have a large amount of players in some form of injury status. Matt Duchene, Ryan Ellis, Mark Borowiecki, Roman Josi, and Luca Sbisa are still recovering from various issues.
Finally, I’m hoping the Predators can get their act together on home ice.
