The Nashville Predators could yet end the season in ninth place in the standings, but their playoff dreams were ended earlier in the week. They mounted a strong late challenge after winning six of their last ten, which includes victories in each of their previous two.
The Preds have gone 22-14-4 at home this season, and they come into this showdown after a battling 4-3 overtime success at Bridgestone Arena against the Minnesota Wild on Thursday.
Picks
It could be a thrilling game between these sides on Friday. However, we expect the Avalanche to claim victory. We suspect that the additional period of overtime for the Predators could have left a mark on team fatigue.
