Right now, all you want is to get it on there again.”It’s that same thought that’s had Nashville Predators defenseman Roman Josi tossing and turning at night. Meanwhile, the Penguins will attempt to become the first team to win back-to-back Stanley Cups since the Detroit Red Wings in 1997 and 1998. As the Predators play a last game in Bridgestone Arena on Sunday night, they expect the Stanley Cup to have to wait a few more days before the engraving begins.
