Tonight the Nashville Predators (41-27-5) host the Toronto Maple Leafs (43-24-5) in a battle of major NHL powers. The Predators are second in the Central Division while the Leafs are third in the Atlantic; however, the Leafs have four more points than the Predators in the standings.
Lead by centers Auston Matthews and John Tavares, the Leafs boast a one-two punch down the middle akin to the Pittsburgh Penguins. It should be interesting to see how the Predators hang with that power down the middle, considering that Kyle Turris is returning to the lineup, but is being placed on the fourth line.
