Buckle up, the division leaders are in town tonight.
In what feels like an annual tradition, the Nashville Predators and the Chicago Blackhawks will face-off in a Central Division showdown between Christmas and New Year’s. The Blackhawks are tightly hanging onto first place in the Central, as the Minnesota Wild have won eleven straight games to pull within a mere point with three games in hand. On the other side, the Predators are currently sitting outside of a playoff spot and are playing uninspired hockey.
Both teams need these two points tonight, but who will want them more?
