Nashville Predators 5, Carolina Hurricanes 0: The Shutout — and a Sendoff?

After clinching the final playoff spot in the Central Division with a statement win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday, the Nashville Predators took the ice for the final meeting between the teams, and the final regular season game for the Preds.

The lineup in gold looked a little different than Saturday night—and recent weeks—as Coach John Hynes chose to sit several key players and allow the players who haven’t had as much ice time a chance to showcase their skills headed into the first round of the playoffs. The players Hynes plugged into the line up decided to make the most of the opportunity.
