The Nashville Predators will look to snap their seven-game losing streak when they welcome the Calgary Flames to Bridgestone Arena on Tuesday night.
Both teams enter the matchup facing significant challenges, with the Predators managing just one goal in their last two games while the Flames are grappling with road difficulties, having lost their last eight away games including a recent 6-2 defeat to Dallas.
Roman Josi continues to be a bright spot for Nashville with 11 points in his last 10 games, while the Flames' offense has shown glimpses of potential with Nazem Kadri contributing 8 points in his recent outings.
The historical matchup favors Nashville, who have won six of the previous ten meetings between these teams, though Calgary has claimed the last two encounters including a 6-3 victory at Bridgestone Arena.
The goaltending battle will feature Juuse Saros, maintaining a solid .910 save percentage this season, against Dan Vladar, who brings a 2.74 GAA into this contest.
