Game Preview/Live Thread: Nashville Predators @ Minnesota Wild 12/31/24

The Preds will have the chance to end the year on a high note when they take on the Minnesota Wild tonight.

The Wild have been having a very strong season behind powerhouse scorer Kirill Kaprizov and in front of talented young goalie Filip Gustavsson. They’re still playing a defense-first kind of game, but it’s been working out for them, and Kaprizov adds long-lacking interest to their games.

He’s a full 19 points ahead of the next-leading scorer, Matt Boldy, but Boldy and Marco Rossi shouldn’t be overlooked either. The three of them have a solid supporting cast and are playing in a great team structure.

It’ll be a tough W for the Preds to try to claim, especially playing a rested team at home while they’re on the second half of a back-to-back, but hopefully they put in a good effort anyway — and maybe even secure that W.

How to Watch

The game airs at 7 PM Central on FanDuel Sports Network South and 102.5 The Game. We’ll have an abbreviated recap tonight, due to staff unavailability; I hope your 2025 is a good one!
