The Nashville Predators (25-34-8, 58 points) look to snap their three-game skid Thursday when they host the Anaheim Ducks (29-31-8, 66 points) at Bridgestone Arena.
This marks the third and final meeting between Nashville and Anaheim this season; the Ducks won each of the two previous matchups, most recently by a score of 2-1 in Anaheim on March 14.
The Predators are coming off a 4-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues at home on Tuesday, while the Ducks are coming off a 4-3 overtime loss to the Dallas Stars on the road.
Backup goaltender Justus Annunen gets the start for the Predators, and John Gibson will mind the net for Anaheim.
