Less than 24 hours after falling to Minnesota, the Nashville Predators get a chance at redemption tonight as they host the Wild at Bridgestone Arena to conclude a home-and-home set with their Central Division rival.
It's the final game of the 2017 calendar year for Nashville, with an opportunity to retake first in the division with a win over the club that defeated them 4-2 on Friday night. The Predators almost completed a comeback to send the first half of the home-and-home to overtime, but a slow start did the Preds in, something they'll look to correct this evening.
"We're disappointed in ourselves tonight because we worked our butts off the last 40 minutes and did a lot of good things, but it was kind of a waste because we weren't ready at the start of the game," Preds center Ryan Johansen said. "We'll learn from it tonight. The great thing is we play the same guys tomorrow, so we'll be ready to go and we're excited to get back out there on the ice. We wish it was right now."
