The Nashville Predators and the Phoenix Coyotes have met twice this year splitting the series. The first meeting was on Nashville ice where the Coyotes took the Predators to the woodshed in a 5-2 victory. Nashville exacted some revenge by beating the Coyotes in Glendale by a score of 3-0.
The Coyotes are also coming on the tail-end of a back-to-back against Chicago where the Desert Dogs won 4-3 in a shootout. The extra time frame for this win may shift the favor towards the Predators, but as has been shown throughout the year, Nashville has had some trouble with teams playing the night before.
