Eighty games are complete and the Nashville Predators sit atop of the NHL standings. With a record of 51-18-11, the Predators are experiencing the best regular season in their twenty-year history. All they need is two points to close out the Central Division and the Western Conference, gaining home-ice advantage in the playoffs. Both the Predators and the Winnipeg Jets have two games remaining. It only takes one Jets’ loss…
…or one Predators win, which we prefer.
Four points are what is needed for Nashville to make more history: winning their first President’s Trophy. The Boston Bruins are the closest competitor, and they have three games left to play.
