After collecting a victory in Los Angeles on Saturday, the Predators will try for a Southern California sweep tonight when they take on the Ducks in Anaheim. The Sunday night contest is the second of three meetings between the two rivals this season; the Preds beat the Ducks in Nashville, 6-1, back in October.
The Predators had lost three straight coming out of the Christmas break, but a 4-1 win over the Kings snapped that skid, as the group came together to put forth a 60-minute effort. Already without Ryan Ellis (upper-body injury) Colton Sissons (lower-body injury), both of whom are on Injured Reserve, the Preds were also forced to play without Dante Fabbro (upper-body injury, day-to-day) and Matt Duchene (illness) on Saturday.
"We need to win games," Preds Head Coach Peter Laviolette said following Saturday's outing. "It's good to win a game, so that being said, we've got to go back to work. We've got a big game [tonight in Anaheim], and we need to follow it up."
