The Dallas Stars will welcome the Nashville Predators to American Airlines Center for an NHL game on Monday. The Dallas Stars lost 5-2 in their last game over the Avalanche. Tyler Seguin and Joe Pavelski scored for the Stars, and Jason Robertson had two assists. Jake Oettinger finished with 27 saves. “Considering the circumstances, we came out ready to play,” Stars coach Pete DeBoer said. “We knew what was at stake. We played well. It was a close game that could have gone either way. They found a way to capitalize. The errors we made — turning a puck over, taking a too-many-men-on-the-ice penalty — that’s a team that makes you pay for that.”
MacKinnon scored the first goal of the night, with 11:06 remaining in the first period, and his power-play goal with 12 seconds remaining in the second period pushed his team’s advantage back to two. Colorado has scored at least one power-play goal in 13 of its past 14 games. MacKinnon now has 34 goals, increasing his team-leading point total to 97. It was the star center’s 32nd multi-point game of the season, giving him the most of any Avalanche player since Joe Sakic in 2000-01.
“It gets tougher and tougher to produce when the checking game and the commitment level of every team you’re playing goes up,” Bednar said. “Some guys will dry up offensively. Well, Nate’s the exact opposite. The tougher it gets, the more he finds ways to be a big difference-maker.”
The Nashville Predators on the other hand won 6-1 against the Blues in their last game. Tommy Novak scored a goal and added three assists to lead the Nashville Predators over the St. Louis Blues 6-1 on Saturday. Luke Evangelista had a goal and two assists; Cody Glass and Colton Sissons also scored; and Juuse Saros made 21 saves for the Predators, winners of two of three.
Nashville kept its slim playoff hopes alive, now three points behind the Winnipeg Jets for the Western Conference’s second wild-card berth. The Predators have played one fewer game than Winnipeg. “Tonight was a big game for us. Winnipeg won last night, so this was a big one for us to be able to cut it back to three,” Predators coach John Hynes said.
