This afternoon’s game is a matchup of two teams that haven't been doing much losing lately. The Colorado Avalanche have won three in a row and 13 of their last 14 home games. Today they’ll be facing off against a Nashville Predators team that has won 7 games in a row and currently sit at the top of the Central Division standings.
Sitting only a point out of the second wildcard position, every game is huge from here on out, but if the Avalanche are able to get a big win against a division rival, it will go a long way towards improving their playoff chances.
