After setting a franchise record with points in 15 consecutive games (14-0-1), the Nashville Predators will try to make it 16 when they host the Toronto Maple Leafs at Bridgestone Arena tonight. It's the second and final meeting between the two this season; Nashville fell 3-2 in a shootout in Toronto back in February.
Monday's victory in Buffalo was another record-setting night for the Preds and goaltender Pekka Rinne. Not only did the team continue their winning ways, but the netminder posted his League-leading eighth shutout of the season while collecting his 40th victory of the campaign to become just the seventh goaltender in NHL history to record three 40-win seasons.
With a clean sweep through Arizona, Colorado and western New York on their recent road trip, the Preds return home to face a Toronto team that sits in a playoff spot in the East and ranks fourth in the League in goals scored with 239 on the season. And although breaking records is nice, chances are the pregame speech won't mention the chance for a 16-game point streak.
