Detroit Red Wings Facts to Know
The Red Wings (30-27-9) sit seven points behind the New York Islanders in the East, hoping for a miracle to see the postseason. In an exhilarating Sunday game that saw them gain a momentum they had been missing in their previous six matches, the Red Wings emerged victorious over the visiting Boston Bruins with a score of 5-3.
The win was their second in three games, marking a much-needed breakthrough for the team that has struggled recently. If they put on another performance against the Predators, this game between tough NHL teams will have a wild finish.
Nashville Predators Facts to Know
Currently lagging behind the Colorado Avalanche by five points for the final wild-card position in the Western, the Predators (33-24-7) still have their eyes on the prize. Nashville just finished a six-game turn on the road with a record of 4-1-1, with the last game ending in a thrilling 5-4 overtime win against hosts Anaheim Ducks on Sunday.
The game belonged to the Predators, who led 4-2 with just under seven minutes left. They fell apart, allowing the Ducks to score two goals and push the game into OT.
If it weren’t for Tommy Novak in the extra period, with his second goal of the night to crush the NHL player stats, Nashville could have walked away frustrated. Despite Detroit’s average, Nashville can’t give up that much ground against them in this upcoming game.

On the Nashville Predators roster, the team will have to deal with a few absences. Alexandre Carrier and Ryan Johansen are out, while Luke Evangelista is day-to-day. It’s not likely he’ll lace up for the game.
