After a well-earned, four-day break between games, the Nashville Predators are back tonight and set to face the Canucks in Vancouver to begin a Western Canada swing.
It's the first game for the Preds since Friday night, which saw them fall to Vegas in a shootout - but that contest concluded a 25-day stretch that saw the Preds play 13 games, going 9-2-2 over the span.
Not only does Nashville remain one of the League's hottest teams, they could get even stronger
with the possible return
of forwards Ryan Johansen and Scott Hartnell to the lineup. Both players have practiced with the team this week and taken line rushes as well.
Predators Head Coach Peter Laviolette stated the team will bring "everyone" on the current road trip and "game-time decisions" will be made when it comes to the lineup.
