The previous game between those two opponents was held on October 20, 2022, and ended in a 5-3 victory for the Columbus Blue Jackets. One of the reasons behind the Blue Jackets’ triumph was the performance of Johnny Gaudreau. He was on the ice for 19:55 and ended the game with two goals. It was Yakov Trenin who played best for the Predators, as he spent 12:55 skating and ended up scoring once and providing one assist. Elvis Merzlikins also had a leading role for the Blue Jackets, saving 23 of Nashville’s total of 26 attempts on his goal. Kevin Lankinen was between the sticks for the Predators and parried 37 of all the 41 shots he faced, but that proved insufficient for the win. There is no clear favorite when it comes to the latest five encounters, as the Nashville Predators won twice and the Columbus Blue Jackets triumphed three times in the process.
