The Morning After Round-Up: Predators 2, Blues 1 (SO)

In a turnaround from last season, the Predators collected their sixth point in three games from the St. Louis Blues with a 2-1 shootout win last night after only getting five last season when they went 2-3-1 against their division rival.

The Preds picked up a point on the Blues and two on Detroit and are now in seventh place with 44 points, three behind both teams and four back of fourth place Minnesota in the tightly bunched Western Conference race.

There remains no projection of when Shea Weber or Kevin Klein will return but the Predators have won two of three without the captain which is a real tribute to the organizational depth.

The Predators will open the new year at 5 p.m. tomorrow against Calgary at Bridgestone Arena before having three days without a game for the first time since the opening week of the season when they did not play from October 9-12.
