Predators aim to bounce back vs. dismal Kings

Mar 13, 2008 - 1:01 PM Los Angeles (27-38-6) at Nashville (35-28-8) 8:00 pm EDT

NASHVILLE, Tennessee (Ticker) - The Nashville Predators need to get on track if they are going to stay in the playoff hunt.

The Predators attempt to snap a three-game home losing streak on Thursday when they host the dismal Los Angeles Kings.

Nashville fell to 1-3-0 in its last four games on Tuesday, enduring a narrow 2-1 setback to the San Jose Sharks. Jason Arnott scored the only goal for the Predators, who remained in ninth place in the Western Conference, two points behind the Vancouver Canucks (35-25-10).

Arnott, an All-Star who leads Nashville with 65 points and is second on the team with 25 goals, scored on a power play at 5:29 of the third period to end a five-game goal scoring drought.

The Kings fell even further down the standings on Monday suffering a 2-1 overtime loss to the Canucks.

Los Angeles gave up the tying goal with 2:41 remaining in the third period before it was sent home just 46 seconds into the extra session. With the loss, the Kings are just 1-4-3 over their last eight games.
