GAME DAY: Bruins vs. Preds, Oct. 22

The Predators will complete their four-game homestand tonight in search of their first win of the season when they host the Boston Bruins at Bridgestone Arena for a puck drop at 7:45 p.m. CT. This is the first of two meetings between the two clubs this season; Nashville will visit Boston in March.

Despite Steven Stamkos' first goal as a member of the Preds on Saturday afternoon, Nashville is still looking for its first win of the season after five games. There have been things we've liked in recent efforts, but overall the Predators say they're still just not doing enough to be successful and getting in the win column is of the utmost importance.

“It’s definitely a tough sled,” Stamkos said after Saturday’s loss to Detroit. “We can't keep saying the same thing over and over again and say, 'Okay, the effort was there, okay, we had a lot of shots, we had a lot of looks.' We have to do it at some point… It's certainly no fun if you don't win and it's a difficult league to win in, no question. But we are a better group than what we are showing right now.”

The Preds could have a new face in the lineup tonight in Zachary L'Heureux. The rookie forward was recalled from AHL Milwaukee on Monday, and after Monday's practice, Predators head coach Andrew Brunette said the plan was to bring L'Heureux into the lineup.

If L'Heureux plays tonight against the Bruins, it would be his NHL debut.

“They just want me to be me,” L’Heureux said of what the Preds expect from him. “I'm not going to do a miracle or (anything like that), I'm just going to play my game, come in here and do what I do. Maybe bring a little excitement, bring a little jump and just see what I can do here.”
