Game: Nashville Predators (32-25-3-5) at Dallas Stars (41-22-3-2)
Faceoff: Sat, Mar, 1 – 8:00 PM ET
The Predators have tried to shore up their offense (hurt by injuries) by making some key acquisitions at the trade deadline. However, the biggest problem for the Preds recently has been the defense and goaltending. They’ve allowed 26 tallies over their last five games and now the Predators must face a red-hot Dallas team that has suddenly surged near the top in the Western Conference.
Dallas picked up Brad Richards who had a wicked game against Chicago, he had 5pts on the night. Dallas is 4-0 SU and 21-10-1-1 at home. The Predators are 0-3 SU and 12-15-2-2 on the road.
