Nashville Predators vs. Buffalo Sabres live score updates, TV schedule for NHL game
The Nashville Predators will try to start another winning streak with Thursday's game against the Buffalo Sabres at Bridgestone Arena on the eve of the trade deadline.
The Preds lost 4-3 in overtime to Montreal on Tuesday to end an eight-game winning streak. Nashville's lead for the final wild-card spot is six points, ahead of St. Louis and Seattle.
Buffalo (29-29-5) has not been able to shake off a slow start to the season, and confirmed its status as a seller with Wednesday's trade of Casey Mittelstadt, who led the team in points, to Colorado for Bowen Byram.
