The projected lineups for the game between the Detroit Red Wings and the Nashville Predators have been released.
The Nashville Predators are currently in the final rank of the whole NHL with a 6-12-4 record, with only two wins in their last 10 games.
On Monday, the Preds were even beaten 8-3 by the Florida Panthers. After the game, team captain Roman Josi didn't mince his words about the tough situation:
«Just a horrible game. Right from the first period, we just played poorly. I don't know, it's hard to explain. We have a good effort against Colorado [on Saturday] and we come back with that. I wish I knew why, but it's not acceptable. We can't play like that and think we can win.»
The team will be in Detroit tonight, and the Wings will need to be careful not to take them for granted, as the Preds group is likely to push to bounce back after a disappointing effort.
The projected lineups from both teams have been released, and a worrying update could make things even more complicated for Todd McLellan's team.
