Coming off a very impressive couple of wins over the Dallas Stars, the Nashville Predators followed that up with a road win over the Montreal Canadiens last night.
This latest win puts them temporarily in the top wildcard spot with 78 points, which is tied with the Vancouver Canucks. It’s also tied with the Winnipeg Jets, but they sit on the outside looking in thanks to tiebreakers.
The wildcard race is obviously going to be a day-to-day thing to keep a close eye on. The Predators smack dab in the middle of it as most teams have played either 69 or 70 games up to this point.
