The Nashville Predators have already played the Chicago Blackhawks three times this season, going 2-1, and with all of the games coming in lopsided fashion.
The last time these two faced each other the Predators took a 5-2 win in Chicago with goals from Viktor Arvidsson, Matt Duchene and Nick Bonino.
This is game you have to win if you’re the Nashville Predators. A wildcard spot is there for the taking, but you can’t just keep kicking the can down the road.
Trap game
Both teams are fighting for their playoff lives, but the Blackhawks have much slimmer hopes.
