PLAYOFFS Never Met

- The Predators are 15-12-(1)-3 all-time against the Hurricanes, including a 9-5-(0)-1 record at Bridgestone Arena. - After enjoying success against Carolina in the late 2000s and early 2010s – including an eight-game point streak (6-0-2) from 2008-12 – the Predators have dropped seven of their last eight against the Hurricanes. - Nashville is seeking its first home win over Carolina since Oct. 8, 2015, a three-game span. - The Predators and Hurricanes split their two-game regular-season series in 2019-20, with Nashville earning a 3-0 victory in Raleigh on Nov. 29, 2019. - Nashville won its first game as an NHL franchise on Oct. 13, 1998 in a 3-2 victory over Carolina. Andrew Brunette scored the franchise’s first goal at 5:12 of the first period.

NOTABLES vs. CAROLINA - Filip Forsberg scored twice vs. Carolina on Jan. 13, 2019 and has six points (3g-3a) in 10 career games against the Hurricanes. - Ryan Johansen has 10 points (3g-7a) in 18 career meetings with the Hurricanes and had a four-game point streak (1g-3a) against Carolina from Jan. 27, 2014-Nov. 4, 2014. - Pekka Rinne is 7-3-1 with a 2.25 goals-against average and .917 save percentage in 11 career contests against Carolina.

LAST TIME OUT 2, Nashville Predators 5 – Jan. 16 at Bridgestone Arena NSH goals: Grimaldi (1), Forsberg (2), Richardson – GWG (1), Kunin (2), Sissons (1) CBJ goals: Foligno (1), Texier (1) : NSH – Saros (W, 42/44); CBJ – Merzlikins (L, 28/33) Power plays: NSH 0-3 / CBJ 0-2 Notes: Nashville has started a season 2-0-0 for the first time since 2018-19 and the eighth time in franchise history... The Predators improved their all- time record at home against the Blue Jackets to 36-6-(1)-3… Nashville is now 8-1-1 in its last 10 games vs. Columbus… The Preds scored four third- period goals; it was the ninth time since the 2015-16 season the team has scored four goals in the third… Juuse Saros started his second consecutive game in goal for the Preds and made 42 saves, tied for the eighth-most in a game in his career and the 10th time he’s made at least 40 stops… Brad Richardson’s game-winning goal was his first goal with the Predators… Ryan Ellis had a team-high five shots and recorded an assist, two blocked shots and a +2 rating… Mathieu Olivier dished out six hits to lead all skaters.

DEPTH ON DISPLAY - Eleven different Nashville skaters recorded a point in Saturday’s win vs. Columbus; 15 had at least one on goal; and every player logged at least 10 minutes of ice time. - Through two games, 15 of the 19 skaters to play for Nashville have recorded at least a point. - Six Preds players have combined to score the team’s eight goals, led by Filip Forsberg and Luke Kunin, who have two each.

NEW GUYS DELIVER - Out of the 19 skaters to have appeared for Nashville this season, seven did not play for the team during the 2019-20 campaign. - Luke Kunin has scored in consecutive games and shares the team lead in points (2) and goals (2). - In addition to his game-winning goal on Saturday, Brad Richardson tallied an assist in Thursday’s season-opener to give him two points on the season. Saturday night, Richardson formed a line with Calle Jarnkrok and Mathieu Olivier that had a 7-1 advantage in unblocked shot attempts when they were on the ice together. - The defensive pairing of Matt Benning and Mark Borowiecki has skated 26:37 together in Nashville’s first two games. The two have been on the ice for three Preds goals compared to one against and have teamed up to block six shots and dish out five hits. - Nick Cousins tallied the primary assist on Kunin’s goal in Saturday’s victory. He’s averaging 16:40 of ice time through two contests. - Erik Haula recorded an assist on Kunin’s first goal with the Predators on Thursday.

FORSBERG STARTS STRONG - Filip Forsberg has opened the season with goals in each of his first two games. It’s the second straight season Forsberg has tallied in Nashville’s first opening two contests; in 2019-20, he began the campaign with goals in four straight games. - Forsberg scored his 167th career goal on Thursday to move into sole possession of second-place on the team’s all-time goals list. - He now sits behind only on the team’s all-time goals list; Legwand tallied 210 in 956 games with Nashville. - Forsberg’s 167 goals since the start of the 2014-15 campaign – his first full NHL season – are tied for the 19th-most in the League in that time span.
