Rangers, Predators Meet in Nashville Clash NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Interstat) — The New York Rangers and Nashville Predators, both seeking consistency in a middling season, face off Sunday at Bridgestone Arena. The Rangers (18-19-0) arrive after a dramatic 5-4 shootout win over Philadelphia on Saturday, fueled by a two-goal performance from Artemi Panarin. The star winger has been a bright spot, recording 11 points (5 goals, 6 assists) in his last 10 games. New York has alternated wins and losses in its last five outings. Nashville (13-20-0) looks to rebound from a 4-1 home loss to Carolina on Wednesday. The Predators have struggled to find footing, with just three wins in their last 10 games. Goaltender Juuse Saros remains a key factor; he is 5-3-1 with a .915 save percentage over his last nine starts, including a 33-save effort in the loss to the Hurricanes. In their previous meeting this season, the Rangers defeated the Predators 6-3 in New York on Nov. 10. According to National Statistical, the game simulator projects a 3-2 victory for the Predators. Following this contest, the Rangers begin a four-game road trip with a visit to Washington on Tuesday. Nashville opens a five-game road swing in Minnesota on Tuesday.
