In an NHL Western Conference clash, the Nashville Predators will host the Los Angeles Kings on Saturday night at Bridgestone Arena.
The matchup marks the third game of a five-game homestand for the Predators, and they will be desperate to earn a second consecutive win. A third-period goal from Cole Smith gave Nashville a 2-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Thursday.
Nashville won only its third game of the season against Vancouver and holds a 3-3-2 record ahead of Saturday's outing. The team lost four games in a row before sneaking past the Canucks.
The Kings were also recently on a four-game skid, but Jim Hiller's side has found some form again lately, winning two on the trot. Adrian Kempe has been instrumental in the victories, becoming the first player in franchise history with overtime goals in back-to-back games.
L.A. shares the same record with Nashville, but has performed significantly better on a nightly basis. The team averages about 0.3 more goals per game than their opponent on Saturday, while their defensive numbers are similar.
It has been a disappointing start to the season for the Kings, but they know they can improve once Anze Kopitar returns to the lineup. And at least, the team's road form has been excellent, with seven points from five games.
