The Nashville Predators, led by captain Roman Josi, continue to struggle with their form in the NHL and are at the bottom of the Western Conference.

The Nashville Predators continue to struggle to find their form in the NHL. Despite a convincing 4-0 win against the Utah Hockey Club, which was supposed to serve as a turning point, they suffered another defeat on Tuesday night. In a thrilling game against the Colorado Avalanche, they lost 3-2 after overtime. This defeat marks the sixth in the last eight games and the fourth in a row on foreign ice.

The decision was made in the third minute of overtime in favor of the hosts. Before that, the Predators had squandered an early lead in the second period, but were able to equalize at the start of the final period. Roman Josi, who had the most ice time for his team with almost 27 minutes, provided the assist to tie the game at 2:2. This was his tenth assist of the season.

Los Angeles Kings on the upswing

While the Predators are struggling with their form, the Los Angeles Kings are performing better. However, after three wins in their last four games, they suffered a 3-1 defeat against the Calgary Flames. The game remained exciting until shortly before the end, but a goal by Kevin Rooney into an empty net 20 seconds before the end sealed the result. Kevin Fiala, who plays for the Kings, failed to score for the third game in a row and recorded a minus-1 rating.
