Said winger Kris Versteeg: "Sometimes, you think teams will come back to earth. The (Predators) are still a great team but … you do think some teams will go through a bit of a tough stretch. That's just the way it is. It doesn't mean they're a bad team at all. All three teams are kind of going through a tough stretch at the same time and now it's about finding a way to get out of that and work through the adversity and try to catch that team ahead of you."
