The Nashville Predators will look for a big rebound here on Thursday night after three consecutive losses against the Stars and Kings respectively in the last week. They face a team in the Columbus Blue Jackets who know all about three-straight losses, opening up the season on that run against the Hurricanes, Lightning, and Blues.
Columbus was able to bounce back, however, with an OT win against Vancouver on Tuesday, and will look to string back-to-back wins together for the first time this season against Nashville on Thursday.
