Before the boys could scatter to parts unknown (for most, and Milan for a few), there was some unfinished business to take care of – namely, a date with the Nashville Predators. They would get some reinforcements for this final pre-Olympic break, with both Pierre-Luc Dubois and Logan Thompson making their triumphant returns to the lineup – and those two would be a huge part of a very important win for the hometown team.
Plus: Big night for players returning from injury, with Dubois picking up an assist less than five minutes into the first period, then adding his first goal of the season on the power play later in the same frame.
