The Nashville Predators took care of business and did exactly what they needed to do against the Chicago Blackhawks. After suffering a tough loss last Wednesday, the Predators secured a 3-1 victory on Friday and claimed two more points in the standings.
Friday night’s win, along with a win by the Dallas Stars, gives the Predators just a two-point cushion in the Central Division standings.
