With the Thanksgiving feasts now complete, the Nashville Predators are back on the road for the first back-to-back set of games this season, and it starts tonight (at 6:30 p.m. CT) in Carolina against the Hurricanes. It's the first of two meetings between the two clubs; the Canes will visit the Preds in February.
Nashville saw their two-game winning streak come to an end on Wednesday night, as they fell to the Vegas Golden Knights in overtime by a 4-3 final. After falling behind 2-0, the Preds came back to score three-straight goals, but Vegas tied the game with 0.3 seconds to play in regulation before prevailing in OT. Even with the loss, the Preds have points in three-straight outings, and at the very least, they intend on keeping that streak alive.

"It's never easy losing a game like that, but we just have to remember we've been playing good hockey, and we've been outplaying teams even if we're losing games," Preds forward Mikael Granlund said. "We just have to keep moving forward, battling and playing hard and we're going to stack up some wins."
The Predators did not practice on Thanksgiving before departing for Carolina.
