The Predators can push their point streak to seven games and sweep their trip to Western Canada with a win in Calgary tonight (at 9 p.m. CT).
Nashville (20-7-4) has been nearly unbeatable since the acquisition of center Kyle Turris, going 12-2-2 in 16 games with the former Ottawa Senator in the lineup. The new-look - and healthy - forward group has been particularly formidable the previous two games with Ryan Johansen and Scott Hartnell returning from injury. In their first two stops of the trip in Vancouver and Edmonton, the Predators have scored a combined 11 goals.
Calgary (16-13-3) rallied to win in their first meeting of the season with Nashville on Oct. 24 at Bridgestone Arena. In the contest, the Flames scored twice to erase a 2-0 deficit and later prevailed in a shootout. More recently, the Flames lost their last contest, 3-2, at home against the San Jose Sharks.
The Preds held a full morning skate on Saturday after a day off on Friday. Below is a projected lineup based on the session:
