Coach Maurice:  What is the mindset going into tonight’s game?  The value of depth in both organizations to deal with the injuries but still remain at the top.  What kind of problems do the Predators present?  Same roster?  His thoughts on Mattias Ekholm’s game.  On this being the dad’s trip.  On how well the third line has been with Perreault.
