On the heels of a somewhat disappointing trip to Florida, the Sens return home to face the Nashville Predators. After signing Matt Duchene in the off-season, the Preds were one of the pre-season favourites but so far have mostly failed to live up to the hype. Their 16-12-5 record isn’t awful, but they currently sit outside of a play-off spot in the Western Conference and have gone through long stretches of mediocre play. Nonetheless, this is one of the most talented squads in the entire league and their 8-3 demolition of the New York Islanders on Monday shows that they should never be taken lightly.
