The race for the playoffs continues Saturday at Bridgestone Arena as the the deadlocked Blackhawks and Predators meet once again. The two teams are in the same position after their two-game meeting last week, tied with 39 points but with the Predators having the tie-breaker for the final playoff spot for the Central Division.
With a third of the season remaining, these next two games aren’t exactly must-wins, but the Blackhawks need to get back on track with consistent wins to create separation from the three teams within five points of their position in the standings if they hope to make the playoffs.
