The Nashville Predators end their brief five day break in hockey action tonight against the Tampa Bay Lightning, and on today's Locked On Predators Nick and Ann preview this never-boring matchup. We discuss the players who must step up tonight at Amalie Arena if the Preds hope to compete with one of the top teams in the league. We also talk about just how challenging this game will be without former Lightning-turned-Predator Ryan McDonagh out of the lineup due to injury. We'll tell you why McDonagh's absence could have a negative affect on the Predators' performance on both ends of the ice tonight. There is another name on Nashville's roster that has been exceptionally quiet so far this season. We'll tell you why tonight may be a chance for Tanner Jeannot to help his scoresheet match his advanced stats. We discuss the keys to this game - what does Nashville have to do to get a win against the 15-9-1 Lightning? We'll tell you what has to happen to get a win tonight. Finally, it is the Predators' dads trip. Nick and Ann talk about the trouble with mom/dad trips when you're a Predator and what our dream parent game would be.
