Key Storylines
Recent form
Detroit arrives back home after a 4–3 loss to the New Jersey Devils, dropping to 13–9–1 overall. Their record in close games remains respectable (4–2–1 in one-goal games). They will try to bounce back from a loss in one of those games here at home, where the Wings are 8-4-1 this season. Nashville is mired in a three-game losing streak. Their record sits at 6–12–4, and on the road they have been especially vulnerable (1–5–2 away). Over their last 10 games, the Predators have allowed 36 goals while scoring only 23.
Goaltending
Cam Talbot should get the start for Detroit in this matchup. He comes into this game with a 2.79 GAA and a .889 save percentage. While he has been far from perfect this season, he compares favorably to the goaltenders for the Predators. Both goalies for the Preds have GAAs over 3.00 and Juuse Saros has been disappointing as the starter for them this year.
Key skaters
On Detroit’s side, players like Alex DeBrincat (11 goals, 14 assists) and Dylan Larkin (13 goals, 12 assists) are leading their attack. Filip Forsberg is the Preds’ top offensive threat (9 goals, 7 assists), but beyond him their scoring is scarce with just 2.32 goals per game on the season.
