Less than 24 hours after a win in the desert, the Nashville Predators will look to tie and set a pair of franchise records tonight in Colorado against the Avalanche. It's the fourth and final meeting of the campaign between the two potential postseason foes with the Preds looking for a clean sweep of the regular-season series.
The Predators currently have points in 13 consecutive contests (12-0-1) and would tie a franchise record if they are able to collect at least one more this evening. In addition, Nashville has points in 13 straight road outings (10-0-3) which has already tied a franchise mark.
Nashville will be without forward Calle Jarnkrok for the remainder of the regular season due to an upper-body injury. Center Mike Fisher, as well as defensemen Yannick Weber and Matt Irwin, were scratched on Thursday night but could enter the lineup this evening on the second half of a back-to-back.

Last Time Out:
Kyle Turris recorded a goal and two assists as the Predators collected their first win in Arizona in over three calendar years, a 3-2 victory. Kevin Fiala and Ryan Ellis also tallied in the win, while goaltender Pekka Rinne extended his personal win streak to 10 games, one shy of tying his career high.
Viktor Arvidsson leads the Preds with 26 goals and 52 points, followed by P.K. Subban with 50 points and Filip Forsberg with 49. Fiala now has 23 goals on the season; Smith has 21 and Forsberg has 18.
The Opposition:
Colorado is also skating on the second half of a back-to-back tonight after defeating the Blues in St. Louis by a 4-1 final. The Avalanche have points in nine consecutive games, including a 4-3 overtime loss to the Preds less than two weeks ago.
MVP candidate Nathan MacKinnon has 35 goals and 85 points on the season to lead the Avs, followed by Mikko Rantanen with 25 goals and 74 points, and then Gabriel Landeskog with 22 goals and 52 points. The Predators could see Semyon Varlamov once more tonight; the netminder is 20-13-6 this season.

All-Time Meetings:
The Predators are 41-28-(5)-3 all-time against the Avalanche, including a 19-16-(2)-2 mark against Colorado at Pepsi Center. Nashville has an active nine-game winning streak against Colorado - including five straight on the road - that dates back to April 5, 2016. The Preds have found the back of the net four or more times in nine of their last 10 meetings with Colorado.
Notables Versus Colorado:
Roman Josi has points (4g-8a) in eight straight games versus Colorado, including four multi-point contests, while Viktor Arvidsson has points (5g-2a) in six of his last seven games against Colorado.
