Predators, Red Wings Seek First Win After Losses

The Nashville Predators faced a disappointing home opener, losing 4-3 to the Dallas Stars without starting goalie Juuse Saros, who was sidelined with a lower-body injury. Despite new signings Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault, the Predators struggled offensively, with only three players scoring. The Predators will look to secure their first win of the season against the Detroit Red Wings, who also lost their opener to the Pittsburgh Penguins, 6-3, plagued by defensive breakdowns. Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin acknowledged the need to improve after their second and third-period collapse. Both teams aim to rebound from their initial losses, with Nashville hoping Saros's return will bolster their performance. The game promises to be a competitive matchup as each team seeks its first victory of the season.
