The Nashville Predators managed to shut down the youthful Colorado Avalanche, netting their 3rd win against the Avs this season and drawing ever closer to Colorado in the Western Conference points race. With every game being immensely important at this point in the season, last night’s loss was devastating to the team.
Colorado Avalanche forward Matt Hendricks will probably be out tomorrow night against the nasty Nashville Predators as an unknown ankle injury kept him away from practice today.

Colorado Avalanche rookie defenseman Ryan Wilson left last night’s blowout of the lowly Edmonton Oilers after a questionable hit by Oiler Jean-Francois Jacques. What appeared to be a head injury has yet to be confirmed by any source close to the team or otherwise.
