The second installment of a four-game home stand commences tonight at Bridgestone Arena as the Nashville Predators host the Vancouver Canucks on the final day of November.
It's been a banner month for the Preds, posting an NHL-best 10-2-1 record during the span, and they'll look to tie a franchise record tonight with an 11th win in November. Nashville has collected points in 11 of their last 12 outings, with 10 of those being wins.
The Predators also have an opportunity to set a franchise record tonight if they're able to score a power-play goal. Nashville has tallied on the man advantage in each of their 11 home games this season, tying a club record. The Preds own the NHL's third-best power play, operating at 25.8 percent (24-for-93) on the season, and also possess the NHL's best home power play by a wide margin, converting on 40 percent (18-for-45) of its opportunities at Bridgestone Arena.
