Now, Nashville will look to continue their mostly consistent solid play of late into tonight against one of the League\u2019s top teams.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cObviously, [they\u2019re] a team we just played recently coming into our building on Wednesday, with Carolina, and they\u2019re a fast, tenacious team,\u201d Preds winger Filip Forsberg said following Monday\u2019s win. \u201cSo, it&#8217;ll be even more important [to be efficient] with the breakouts and trying to limit their odd-man rushes a little bit. Last game against them, we gave up a lot, and we can&#8217;t do that against them. So, it\u2019ll be another good one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cJust take a breath and get ready to go to work,\u201d Preds Head Coach Andrew Brunette said of heading home. \u201cOur goal here is to win the week, and we won today.
