With their win on Saturday night, the Nashville Predators punched their ticket to the 2020-21 Stanley Cup Playoffs, clinching the final spot in the Central Division. Tonight they play their last game of this shortened season against the division champion Carolina Hurricanes.
With one final game left to play tonight, Nashville’s record sits at 30-23-2. It has been an epic turnaround from a team that was on the brink of a full-blown rebuild and possible management/coaching changes.
A playoff spot is the last thing that anyone expected from this team back in March.
