Goaltender Pekka Rinne is expected to start for the Nashville Predators, who are 8-3-2 in November after a 2-5-1 start. Rinne has won three in a row and is 8-1-2 in his past 11 starts with a 1.35 goals-against average, a .952 save percentage and one shutout. The Predators are finishing a two-game road trip that began Sunday with a 3-0 loss to the Winnipeg Jets when they had a season-high 42 shots on goal, including "28 quality chances," coach Peter Laviolette said Tuesday. "I think our road game has gotten better. You just have to give [Jets goalie Connor] Hellebuyck credit; he played a heck of a game." The Predators are 8-1-1 at home but 2-7-2 on the road. Nashville is 1-3-1 on the road since a 5-1 win against the Colorado Avalanche at Pepsi Center four weeks ago. "As a group, we have to commit to playing a certain type of game on the road for the whole game, and that's kind of what's been killing us a little bit," forward Mike Fisher said. "It's one of those things where you say, 'Man, are we that bad on the road?' We've been solid at home for a long time. It's a different game on the road, but it's not that different." Forward Filip Forsberg has three goals and six assists in a five-game scoring streak against the Avalanche.
