The Nashville Predators will try to extend their win streak to double digits tonight as the Anaheim Ducks come to town. After returning home from a four-game road trip, the Preds shut out Dallas on Tuesday to collect their ninth-straight victory and set a franchise record.
Predators Captain Roman Josi, who is day-to-day with an upper-body injured, participated in an optional ice session on Wednesday morning in Nashville. Josi has missed the past three games with the ailment.
With 95 points in the standings, the Predators have surpassed their point total from last season with 16 games still to play on the regular-season schedule. No matter the circumstances, Nashville has found ways to win over the past two-and-a-half weeks to build a confidence that is infectious at the moment.

"This is a really tight team, and I think all those things come together and you see it on the ice," Preds goaltender Pekka Rinne said following Tuesday's win. "When things are going well, everything is a little bit easier. You feel good about yourself. You come to the rink with a smile on your face, and a lot of good things are happening to us right now. We just have to enjoy it."

Last Time Out:
Ryan Hartman broke a scoreless tie in the third period and Rinne recorded his seventh shutout of the season as the Preds blanked the Stars by a 2-0 final. Nick Bonino added an empty-netter to seal Nashville's ninth consecutive win, while Mike Fisher skated in his second game of the season and his first at home.
P.K. Subban leads the team in scoring with 50 points, followed by Viktor Arvidsson with 49 and Filip Forsberg with 46. Arvidsson is tops among the Preds with 24 goals, while Kevin Fiala has 21 and Craig Smith has 20 on the season.
The Opposition:
Anaheim begins a two-game trip tonight after winning three straight at home, including a 4-0 victory over Washington on Tuesday night. Rickard Rakell leads the club with 28 goals and 56 points, followed by Ryan Getzlaf with 47 points and Corey Perry with 39. Ondrej Kase has tallied 17 goals on the season; Adam Henrique has 16 markers. Goaltender John Gibson is 25-15-6 in net; Ryan Miller is 8-5-6.
