Despite the Arizona Coyotes’ absence, the Stanley Cup Playoffs roll on. The Nashville Predators are one of the two wild card seeds, along with the Minnesota Wild.

This game also marked the beginning of a 5-game losing streak that started the downfall of the team from the top of the Pacific Division standings when Arizona dropped the game 5-2.
