Predators try for continued success at home against Canucks

Predators Seek Back-to-Back Home Wins Against Canucks

The Nashville Predators aim to secure their second home victory over the Vancouver Canucks in just 11 days when the Western Conference rivals meet again on Monday. This swift rematch follows the Predators' 2-1 win in Nashville earlier in October.

Challenging Home Record

Success at home against the Canucks has been hard to come by for Nashville. The Predators hold a 20-19-6 record in 46 all-time regular-season home games against Vancouver, but have yet to claim a playoff win at home, with a 0-6 record in those matchups.

Canucks Struggling with Injuries

Vancouver has faced significant injury challenges, impacting their early-season performance. Their struggles are reflected in a 2-5-0 record over the last seven games, including a 5-2 defeat to the Minnesota Wild on Saturday.

Possible good news arrived Monday as Quinn Hughes, the 2024 Norris Trophy winner, may return after missing four games due to a lower-body injury. Hughes joined the Canucks in St. Paul, Minnesota, indicating he could be available to play against Nashville.

Penalty Kill Woes

Vancouver’s penalty killing has suffered amid the lineup issues, posting a 71.1% success rate (32-for-45), which ranks near the bottom in the NHL.

"Quinn Hughes, who won the 2024 Norris Trophy, has missed four games with a lower-body injury, but the star defenseman joined the Canucks in St. Paul, Minn., and could be available to face the Predators."

Author's summary: Nashville aims for a second home victory over Vancouver despite the Canucks' injury woes, as Quinn Hughes could return to strengthen Vancouver’s lineup.
