The Nashville Predators are in the State of Hockey in search of their sixth-straight win. The Preds and Minnesota Wild get together tonight at the Xcel Energy Center, a quick one-game road trip for Nashville.
Five victories in a row for the Predators have seen them score 23 goals over the span, receiving contributions throughout the lineup. Although they'll be without defenseman Yannick Weber for two to four weeks and winger Scott Hartnell for three to five weeks - both out with lower-body injuries - the Preds are confident in what they've been doing as of late, no matter who is putting the puck in the net.
"I think it's been coming, even when it wasn't there," Preds Head Coach Peter Laviolette said. "The chances are going to go at some point… The chances were there, if you continue to push through missed opportunities]. I think the contributions helps build the guys' confidence. When you score some goals, you can build something off of that."
