Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Penguins will be hoping for a response after losing their last two. Despite that, they remain third in the Metropolitan Division.
The Pittsburgh Penguins were among the fastest starters in the NHL this season, but their form has dipped in recent weeks.
They have now suffered defeats in each of their last two. Despite that, they remain third in the Metropolitan Division, and could return to the summit by the end of the weekend.
The Penguins were last in action over the weekend, as they were edged out in a thriller by the Los Angeles Kings at PPG Paints Arena.
The Nashville Predators will be hoping for a reversal in their fortunes during the NHL Global Series this weekend.
They come into the weekend sitting bottom of the Central Division, having gone 5-9-4 in the NHL this term. Meanwhile, their poor quality has been evident across their last ten, losing six times in regulation time.
The Preds also come into this series after suffering defeats in each of their last five. Their most recent defeat was a 6-3 loss against the New York Rangers on Monday.
| TOTAL | Penguins | Predators | DRAWS | |

| GOALS | 250 | 133 | 117 |
The Penguins and the Predators will both be hopeful that an international scenery can help them get back on track this weekend.
