The Nashville Predators advanced to the Western Conference final for the first time in franchise history with a 3-1 win over the St. Louis Blues on Sunday afternoon. Ryan Johansen scored the go-ahead goal early in the third period on a breakaway, and Calle Jarnkrok clinched it with an empty-netter with one minute remaining. The Predators won the series four games to two and now await the winner of the Edmonton - Anaheim series.
In Edmonton, Leon Draisaitl went crazy-ape bonkers, scoring three goals and two assists to lead the Oilers to a 7-1 rout over the Ducks.
