The Nashville Predators play the Calgary Flames tonight. If the Preds made it in, and if the rest of the wild-card situation lines up right, this would be their first-round playoff matchup—as well as maybe their best chance to make it past the first round. And if the Preds win tonight they will make it in, as well as improving their chances of having it be their first-round meeting.
It’s a big game.
The Flames have had a very good month, rebounding from their one big loss (6-1 to Vegas) with an even bigger win (9-1 over Arizona).
