The last time the Avalanche and Predators faced off was April 7th of 2012 where the Predators finished off Colorado by a score of 6-1 in front of their home crowd in their last home game of the season. It’s a new season with a new captain for Colorado in Gabriel Landeskog, but the same results appear in the standings as last season with the Avalanche hovering just above the cellar floor in the Western Conference (14th) and NHL (tied for 27th).
Nashville keeps on trucking with a 6-1-2 record in their last 9 games, good for 4th in the West and 6th in the NHL with 19 points. This Monday marks President’s Day and the Predators and Avalanche will enjoy a 2 P.M. starting time and can be heard on 102.5 the Game with Tom Callahan and Stu Grimson and viewed nationally on the NHL Network or locally on FS Tennessee with Pete Weber and Terry Crisp proving the play-by-play and color commentary.

Per Dirk Hoag of On the Forecheck, Nashville Predators winger Patric Hornqvist will return to the lineup this afternoon.
Having scored just 30 goals, the Predators have the worst offense in the league (the Los Angeles Kings have also scored 30 goals but they’ve played in two less games). Hornqvist will be a welcome addition as he led the team in goals in both the 2009-10 and 2011...

Matt Duchene scores bizarre goal where he appears to be offsides

February 18, 2013
This is easily one of the most bizarre goals that has happened so far this year. Colorado Avalanche forward Matt Duchene entered the zone about a foot ahead of this dump in, and seemed surprised when the whistle never blew to declare him offsides. Duchene then corralled the puck and fired it past Nashville Predators goalie Chris Mason to give the Avs a 3-1 lead. Obviously Nashville...

Duchene leads Avalanche past Predators
DENVER (AP) -- It took a disputed goal by Matt Duchene for the Colorado Avalanche to snap their string of nine straight losses to the Nashville Predators.
Colorado's star looked offside on his second-period goal in the Avalanche's 6-5 win in a Monday matinee, but the officials ruled Nashville had brought the puck back into their zone.
