The Predators are back in the United States looking for a clean sweep of their four-game road trip as they face the Colorado Avalanche this afternoon in Denver. It's the third of four meetings this season between the two clubs; Nashville has beaten the Avalanche twice at Bridgestone Arena.
Nashville has gone three-for-three on their current excursion with wins over Winnipeg, Edmonton and Vancouver. The Preds have erased a two-goal deficit at least once in each of their last three games, coming back to win in three straight for the first time in franchise history when facing such a situation.
Forward Mike Fisher returned to the Nashville lineup on Friday night in Vancouver, scoring a goal in his return and going 11-for-13 in the faceoff circle. Roman Josi, Craig Smith, Scott Hartnell and Yannick Weber were all scratched for Nashville on Friday, and while all four players were available to play, Head Coach Peter Laviolette described the decision as "maintenance," a tactic the bench boss says his club may use often down the stretch.
