NASHVILLE – Move over Maple Leafs, the home team is having its troubles, too. “With everyone that’s in the mix right now it’s kind of the same thing,” said Preds forward Matt Duchene after morning practice at Bridgestone Arena. We’ve had adversity, we have to come out of it and the only way you’re going to make the playoffs is to play good hockey. “That was a good way to get it out. To go through some adversity now, fight through it and come out with a playoff spot makes a team stronger for sure.”Frederik Andersen is expected in goal for the Leafs, Pekka Rinne for the Preds, with the latter shutting out the Leafs twice last season.
