Tonight the NASHVILLE PREDATORS face off against the Montreal Canadiens in a game that provides Matt Duchene, Tanner Jeannot, and Ryan Johansen opportunity to find their offensive groove. Filip Forsberg was an NHL Star of the Week after earning 7 points in three games - will he be able to add to that point total tonight? We also talk NHL Winter Classic and ask has the magic of the outdoor game diminished?

The Predators are starting to capitalize on their offensive chances in recent games, and in tonight's game against the Habs the Preds may be able to build confidence and momentum when it comes to goal scoring. The Canadiens have allowed 4+ goals in 8 games in December, so this could be a good game for Nashville to get players going who have struggled to find the back of the net. Nashville will need to play solid defense against Montreal's top line of Cole Caufield, Nick Suzuki, and Kirby Dach though to keep the Canadiens from shocking the Bridgestone crowd. We'll tell you our keys to a Preds win as the teams face off tonight.

Finally, Nick and Ann talk Winter Classic. Is it just us or has the "vibe" around the Winter Classic changed in recent years? We discuss the newly announced Seattle Kraken vs. Vegas Golden Knights Winter Classic 2024. What will it take to being back the magic of the outdoor game?
