Sooner or later the Nashville Predators have to start winning these crucial games that can springboard them back into the playoff picture.
They’ve had chances in the past to seize control and always seem to suffer a major setback by laying an egg. The loss to Vegas just two weeks ago immediately jumps to mind, and the loss to the Oilers just last Saturday.
The Predators have a matinee showdown with the first-place St.Louis today at 2 P.M. CDT. They’ll play again in Nashville tomorrow evening, wrapping up the seasons series between the two teams.
The wildcard race is already congested between several teams, and the Predators are right in the middle of it all.
