Game Day: Flames vs. Preds

After a two-game, East Coast trip, the Predators return home tonight to host the Calgary Flames at Bridgestone Arena.
Nashville saw their five-game point streak end on Saturday afternoon against the Rangers but have still won four of their last six coming into this evening. Forward Scott Hartnell was the only player not on Injured Reserve to miss practice on Monday and was given a maintenance day.
Tonight, the Preds will meet a Calgary team with four wins, three of them coming on the road.
