After finishing their California swing with a pair of victories, the Nashville Predators are back home tonight to host the Toronto Maple Leafs at Bridgestone Arena. It's the second and final meeting of the season between the two clubs; the Preds shut out the Leafs, 4-0, in Toronto back in January.
Wins in Los Angeles and San Jose by 3-1 and 4-2 counts, respectively, led to a boost of confidence for the Preds, as they got back to playing the way they want to, especially at this time of the year. Now, with only nine games to play in the regular season, the Predators face another tough task with the high-powered Maple Leafs club that is among the top teams in the east with 94 points.
"We played two pretty complete games there in L.A. and San Jose, and it's all about building off of that now," Preds center Ryan Johansen said Monday. "That's behind us, we did good things and we just need to keep moving forward… We just need our team game to really be polished up right now while we're making our push into the playoffs."
