Team News
The Nashville Predators face a make-or-break week that will define their season. They come into the first of five remaining fixtures this season sitting tenth in the Western Conference standings. At present, they are three points off the top eight places, meaning that they will likely be relying on favors from elsewhere to book a spot in the playoffs.
Their recent form has been decent, as they have won five of their last ten. However, they have also suffered five regulation defeats over the same period. This is a big first test at the start of a huge week of games, and they will be hoping to improve their home record, which currently stands at 20-14-4.
