Pregame: Predators @ Red Wings – 11/19

The Red Wings go for their fourth consecutive shootout loss tonight as they host the Nashville Predators.

Wait, that’s not the narrative? How about their sixth consecutive overtime or shootout loss? Seventh consecutive loss? Eighth consecutive home loss? Seventh consecutive home overtime or shootout loss?

Yeah, things haven’t been good lately.

With Daniel Alfredsson and Stephen Weiss still out, the Wings will roll eleven forwards and seven defensemen as Brendan Smith returns from injury. Jimmy Howard gets the start.

Stupid stat of the day: The Red Wings are unbeaten against Nashville at home in November on days with double digits.

Game time is 7:30 PM on FSD+.
