Filip Forsberg's scoring binge has helped solidify the Nashville Predators' playoff position, while Mark Scheifele is emerging as the bright spot in the Winnipeg Jets' otherwise lost season.
The young forwards each look to continue their hot stretches in Tuesday night's matchup in Winnipeg, where the surging Predators enter on a franchise-record 12-game point streak.
Nashville (33-21-12) has taken a firm hold on the Western Conference's first wild-card spot by winning six of seven and going 8-0-4 since Feb. 12. It further distanced itself from ninth-place Colorado with a 5-2 comeback victory Saturday in Denver, scoring four unanswered third-period goals to move ahead.
