Homegrown star power from Filip Forsberg and Erik Karlsson frames Nashville’s bid for a reset in Stockholm.

Overview

  • Both clubs are in Sweden for regular-season games at Avicii Arena, which has been refit to NHL rink dimensions.
  • Pittsburgh arrives 9-5-3 after a recent dip, while Nashville is 5-9-4 with one win in its past nine games.
  • Predators captain Roman Josi did not travel to recover from injury, and Penguins forwards Rickard Rakell and Filip Hallander are on injured reserve, with Hallander sidelined by a blood clot.
