Nashville Predators
The Nashville Predators are looking to bounce back after a tough 4-3 loss to the Dallas Stars, despite controlling the game towards the end. The offense scored three goals on 36 shots but struggled on the power play, converting only once on six attempts. The defense allowed four goals on 20 shots, with a short stretch in the second period proving costly. Goaltender Spencer Wedgewood had a strong game overall. The team won 65.5% of faceoffs. Juuse Saros is questionable for the next game due to a lower body injury, while other key players are also out with injuries.

The upcoming game will feature Saros in net, marking his first game of the season.
