GAME STORY: The Avalanche previewed its potential first-round playoff matchup with a letdown defeat against the Predators. by kylefredrickson

Colorado fell 5-4 in a shootout to Nashville on Thursday in the regular season finale at Ball Arena. Predators forward Matt Duchene, formerly with the Avalanche , was the only player to score in the shootout. Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen and Nazem Kadri all missed for the Avalanche.

“I had no problems with our game through two periods,” coach Jared Bednar said. “I thought we played well, especially through two periods, we didn’t give up hardly any scoring chances. I would say the difference in the hockey game, to be fair, is had an off night.” Nashville didn’t fold. Duchene gave the Predators life with a snipe past Kuemper from just inside the blueline. Yet the Avalanche kept rolling when Logan O’Connor beat Rittich after Nashville’s defense lost sight of the puck to go up 3-1.
