Can the Predators Pounce on the Jets at Canada Life Centre?

As the Nashville Predators prepare to face off against the Winnipeg Jets at Canada Life Centre, fans are eager to see if their team can continue their recent success on foreign ice. The Predators have been showing a strong performance in their past games, which bodes well for this upcoming challenge.

In their last game against Minnesota Wild, Nashville displayed an impressive offensive prowess by netting six goals and securing a victory with a significant margin. Their shooting percentage was an outstanding 19 percent, and they managed to block as many shots as they took. Goaltending also proved solid with a save percentage of 100 percent, only allowing one goal against 34 shots.


The previous match saw the Predators take down the Ottawa Senators with four goals to one. Once again, goaltending was key; Nashville's netminder saved 24 out of 25 shots for a save percentage of 100 percent. The team's powerplay capitalized on one of three opportunities while maintaining strong defensive play during penalties.

Against Anaheim Ducks, despite starting slow without scoring in the first period, Nashville rallied back with four goals later in the game. Their shooting accuracy was notable at 14 percent and defensively they were just as impressive – blocking numerous attempts and keeping penalty minutes low.


The venue might pose some challenges for Nashville; playing away from home always adds pressure. However, considering their recent form and ability to perform under various circumstances – including shorthanded situations – there is optimism among fans that they can overcome these hurdles.

As we look forward to this clash between two competitive teams, it's clear that if Nashville maintains its current trends in offense and defense while capitalizing on powerplay opportunities as they have been doing recently, they stand a good chance of coming out on top once more.


Fans can catch all the action live from Winnipeg on March 13th at 6:30 PM Central Time (CT). The game will be broadcasted online via ESPN+ and televised through BSSO network channels.
