After a disastrous 8-3 loss to the Florida Panthers on Nov. 24, the Nashville Predators visit the Detroit Red Wings on Nov. 26 at Little Ceasars Arena.
The Predators (6-12-4, 16 points) have lost three straight games and eight of their last nine. On Nov. 24, general manager Barry Trotz said he “needed more” from his players, but also accepted partial responsibility for the team’s failures.
“I’ll take responsibility,” Trotz told The Tennessean. “I think the coaches take a little bit and I think the players do, too. Everything is a partnership.”
Detroit (13-9-1, 27 points) are in second place in the Atlantic Division, a surprising development for a team that did not make the playoffs last season. The Red Wings are led by Alex DeBrincat and Dylan Larkin, each with 25 points through 23 games.
The Predators will likely go with Juuse Saros in net. Saros was pulled in the second period of Nashville’s loss to Florida after allowing five goals for the fourth time this season.
The Red Wings will either go with Cam Talbot or John Gibson in net.
The Predators will go with 11 forwards and seven defenseman against the Red Wings tonight.
Steven Stamkos – Ryan O’Reilly – Luke Evangelista
Filip Forsberg – Erik Haula – Jonathan Marchessault
Michael Bunting – Michael McCarron – Ozzy Wiesblatt
Fedor Svechkov – Matthew Wood
Defense:
Nic Hague – Roman Josi

Spencer Stastney – Nick Blankenburg
Adam Wilsby
Goaltender: Justus Annunen
