The Predators are in the middle of the race for the playoff spots and need to stay focused.
The Kings have had a small letdown lately with two wins in their last five games, but are six points ahead of Nashville.
Quick vs. Rinne(probable) between the pipes tonight. Both are coming from great performances, where Rinne got a clean sheet and Quick just allowed one goal. Quick missed last game, but should have a small advantage here.
Nashville is 2-0 vs. Kings this season and 6-0 overall. They have won four straight games at Staples Center, as well.
The Predators are a great machine combined with a fantastic coach in Barry Trotz and I think they’re too big dogs tonight. 2.30 more correct
