Seventy games during the all-time regular season ledger between these two teams. One team scored 172 goals. The other a whopping 194. However, the Nashville Predators hold a one-game advantage in the series even with the -22 goal differential. The series record is 30-29-2-9.
When you add in the 2017 Stanley Cup playoffs, you can see why this is a rivalry. The Predators, the last-place team in the playoffs, defeated the Anaheim Ducks in 6 games. The series win took the Predators to the Stanley Cup Final for the first time. It was the arguably the best chance the Duck had in making to the Final since winning it all in 2007.
