Tue Nov 12 01:50:00 UTC 2024: ## Avalanche Aim for Back-to-Back Wins as Predators Come to Town
**Denver, CO** – The Colorado Avalanche will look to capitalize on their momentum after a 6-4 win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday, as they host the Nashville Predators tonight. The game marks the second meeting between the two teams, with the Predators taking the first encounter 5-2.
The Avs showcased offensive depth in their victory over the Hurricanes, with goals from Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen, Cale Makar, and even a contribution from Sam Malinski. They’ll need that same scoring depth to overcome a Predators team that thrives on offense despite their current struggles.
Nashville, currently residing in last place in the division, is coming off a 4-0 shutout win over the Utah Hockey Club. Their goaltender, Juuse Saros, looked revitalized in the game, and they received scoring from across their lineup, mirroring Colorado’s recent success.
The Predators are expected to start Saros again tonight, while the Avalanche are likely to go with Alexandar Georgiev. Georgiev will need a strong performance to contain a Predators team known for their offensive prowess.
This game promises to be a thrilling battle between two teams with contrasting styles. The Avalanche, aiming to build on their recent victory, will need to maintain their offensive intensity to secure their second win in a row. The Predators, meanwhile, will be looking to capitalize on any defensive lapses and prove their offensive capabilities.
