The Nashville Predators are needing a “Rocky”-esque comeback to this road trip to begin turning their season around. The Predators are 1-2-3 on the year and one of only four teams with one win (Calgary, Washington and Florida-all at the bottom of the standings). The L.A. Kings are 9th in the West, one place above Nashville, and have started out mediocre coming off their Stanley Cup winning season a year ago.
Game time is at 9:30 P.M. and can be heard on the Predators flagship station 102.5 the Game with Tom Callahan and Stu Grimson with the play-by-play and color commentary and the Voice of the Nashville Predators, Pete Weber, alongside the insurmountable Terry Crisp are on the call for FS Tennessee.
The Predators are stuck in a quagmire where no one seems to know how to right the ship. The captain is “frustrated,” the coaching staff is perplexed and the fans are getting downright riotous over the first six games of the year. Nashville has...

Predators in unfamiliar position after poor start
Returning with, for all intents and purposes, the same lineup that finished with the fifth-most points in the NHL last season and advanced to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, the Nashville Predators figured to have a leg up on the competition in a shortened season preceded by only a week of training camp.
So much for conventional wisdom.

Predators 2, Kings 1, SO
Although Pekka Rinne is an elite NHL goalie by any measure, he had to wait six games and eight shootout rounds to earn his first victory of the season for the low-scoring Nashville Predators.
If that's the type of season he's facing, Nashville's sturdy Finnish goalie will keep trying to carry his teammates past the Los Angeles Kings and the rest of the West.

January 29, 2013
from Chip Scoggins of the Star Tribune,
Suter looks like a guy still learning a new system and how to play with new teammates. He's not paired with fellow stud defenseman Shea Weber in Nashville anymore.
