The list of things that the Predators want to correct is fairly long, as is expected with their 2-5-1 record being the second worst in the NHL entering play Tuesday.

One of those items is playing with a lead, which Nashville hasn't done much this season. According to the Corsica website, the Predators, who face the Avalanche on Tuesday, have led for the second-fewest minutes in the league. In seven of their eight games, they have allowed the first goal, with four of those goals being scored within the first 10 minutes.

"Typically, the team that scores first has a higher chance of winning," Predators forward Colin Wilson said Tuesday morning. "As a group, when you're not getting as many wins, it can kind of mess with you a little bit mentally, but I think once you start getting that confidence, it doesn't matter who scores first."
