NHL Playoff Watch Daily: Nashville Predators, Dallas Stars continue battle for Central's final spot

Sunday's NHL slate consisted of just one game, with the Tampa Bay Lightning defeating the Detroit Red Wings, 2-1, to move into the No. 2 seed in the Central Division.

With a little over a week to go for most teams, much of the excitement will come down to seeding among the playoff contenders in each division, with one notable exception: the race between the Nashville Predators and Dallas Stars for the fourth spot in the Central.

Heading into Monday's games, the Preds have a three-point edge in the standings, and won the season series, 5-3.
