For the second time in as many weeks, the Nashville Predators have a six-day break between games. Unlike last time, however, this one was at least planned.
The hope is that the latest gap doesn’t derail any of the momentum the Preds have right now. They have three straight wins, including a 4-3 win over the Devils that was just New Jersey’s 2nd loss since October 24, and are 7-1-1 since the end of their two-week road trip in November. A lot of the issues that plagued the Preds during their slow start the season are starting to get fixed, and cautious optimism about the season is slowly, but surely starting to creep back into the fanbase.
