The Nashville Predators make their only trip to the province of Alberta to round out the work week, starting tonight in Calgary to face the Flames at the Scotiabank Saddledome. It's the first of three meetings between the two; Calgary will make their way to Nashville twice before the season concludes.
Currently in the midst of a five-game trip, Nashville is 1-1-0, most recently suffering a 1-0 loss to Vancouver on Tuesday night. The result snapped a three-game win streak for the Preds and slots them one point out of the final Wild Card spot in the Western Conference heading into Wednesday's action.
Nashville's offensive statistics remain unchanged from Tuesday's game, with Ryan Johansen leading the Preds in scoring with 30 points, followed by Filip Forsberg with 27 points on the season. Captain Mike Fisher has 26 points, including 12 goals, and Viktor Arvidsson has 25 points. James Neal leads the team with 14 goals; Forsberg has 11. Defensemen P.K. Subban and Roman Josi have not played on the trip and both remain on Injured Reserve. Goaltender Pekka Rinne is 16-12-6 on the season; Juuse Saros is 4-3-1.
