The Predators continue their four-game road trip tonight (at 8 p.m. CT) in Colorado as they meet the Avalanche at Pepsi Center. It's the first of four meetings on the season between the two Central Division rivals; the other three outings will come over a month-long span in the new year.
Nashville started out the journey with a 6-1 win in Detroit on Monday night, including a span of 5:36 in the second period that saw them score four times. The result ended a two-game skid for the Preds, and gave them a victory against a Red Wings team that has given them trouble in recent memory.
"Starts of a road trip are huge because it sets the tone, gives you a flavor," Preds forward Matt Duchene said following Monday's win. "Even if you lose that second game, you still know you're 1-1. If you're .500 on the road, or a bit better, you put yourself in a really good spot to be where you want to be down the stretch and at the end of the season… This is just a great start for us, and we want to keep going."
