The teams’ previous meeting was on February 18, 2022, and the Carolina Hurricanes won 5-3. Andrei Svechnikov was Carolina’s leading player and finished the game with 3 points in 16:24 of play time. He made 3 shots on the enemy goal and converted 2 of those. It was Luke Kunin who played best for the Predators, as he spent 15:24 skating and ended up scoring once. The winners’ netminder Frederik Andersen’s impact on the game is not to be underestimated, as he deflected 28 of all 31 shots on his goal. Juuse Saros was between the sticks for the Predators and parried 25 of all the 29 shots he faced, but that proved insufficient for the win. In the most recent five games, the Carolina Hurricanes are dominating as far as head-to-head balance is concerned, triumphing in three meetings while losing the other two. *Last 5 head-to-head games

The Predators’ most recent meeting was on January 3, 2003, when they defeated the Montreal Canadiens 6-3 at home. Nashville was led by Roman Josi, who ended the night with 2 points. He tried seven shots towards the enemy goal and succeeded with one, for a combined 22 minutes and 24 seconds of game time. Josi also had a hand in one of his side’s other goals by assisting his fellow teammates. Another reason for the team’s victory was the brilliant performance of Juuse Saros, who stopped 24 of the 27 shots that were sent towards his goal. The Nashville Predators have a 4-3-3 balance for the previous 10 meetings, and as of now, they are on a W1 streak. The side has a 7-8–3 road balance for this season. The Predators will be on the ice again on Friday, January 6th, when they are scheduled to play against the Washington Capitals at their opponents’ arena.
