NASHVILLE — The Nashville Predators are trying to stay close enough in the playoff chase to be where they need to be when the season ends.
“It's just crazy to think that we're still like right there and we got games in hand too, which is great,” Grimaldi said. “Sometimes that's what happens. So if we're not in a playoff spot in game 81 and we are in game 82, that's fine." Boone Jenner, Eric Robinson and Emil Bemstrom each scored in the second for Columbus. The banged-up Blue Jackets fell out of the Eastern Conference's second wild card and now are 0-3-5 over their last eight games. Five of the last seven have gone past regulation.
This started a crucial five-game home stand for the Predators who are trying to claw their way into the playoff picture having not missed the post-season since 2014. Nashville already swapped coaches in early January, firing Peter Laviolette and hiring Hynes a day later. Hynes mixed up his lines again, this time putting Johansen on the third line with Colin Blackwell and Austin Watson.

ScottyMitchTSN Not a good tooth to gum ratio ScottyMitchTSN Fantastic picture you chose for this guy ScottyMitchTSN Scott, I think it’s a good thing for a few reasons, but if Yamaguchi pitches well, will he be pissed to be in bullpen. Bc obviously him, with the splitter, in the pen, is the best roster construction.
