How to Watch, Live Stream Preds at Jets

The battle for first place in the Central Division adds its next chapter tonight in Winnipeg as the Predators meet the Jets in a massive tilt at Bell MTS Place. It's the fourth and final meeting - at least in the regular season - between the two rivals; the Preds won the first clash before the Jets took the next two.
Both the Preds and Jets will be looking to get back in the win column tonight, but Nashville has earned a point in four-consecutive outings, good enough to give them 90 points overall, just two back of tonight's opponent for the top of the Central. The result of tonight's game could ultimately decide where the two clubs will end up finishing and who they'll each face in the opening round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Nashville has been pleased with their on-ice play as of late, and although they fell in a shootout to Pittsburgh on Thursday night, the group didn't view the game as a setback, but rather another positive step as the postseason nears.

"That's probably the best sign for our team right now," Preds defenseman Ryan Ellis said of Nashville's play in their own zone. "Everyone is contributing on our end, whether that's blocking shots, good sticks, hits or pins. Whatever it is, it seems that we're all doing a better job together and that leads to more possession in the offensive zone and pucks going the other way once we get it back. I think, all in all, it's a step in the right direction."
The Predators
made a move on Friday
by signing forward Rem Pitlick to a two-year, entry-level contract. Drafted by the Preds in 2016, Pitlick just completed his junior season at the University of Minnesota on Saturday as his team fell to Notre Dame in the semifinals of the Big Ten Tournament. Pitlick established career highs in goals (21), assists (24) and points (45) with the Golden Gophers this season.

Last Time Out:
Ellis scored the lone goal in regulation on Thursday as the Predators fell to the Penguins, 2-1, in a shootout. Goaltender Pekka Rinne took the loss for the Preds, but it was another solid defensive outing for the group; Nashville has only allowed four goals in their past four games.
Ryan Johansen leads the Preds in scoring with 60 points, followed by Roman Josi with 55 and Filip Forsberg with 46. Viktor Arvidsson leads the club with 31 goals, Forsberg has 26 and Craig Smith has 19.
The Opposition:
Winnipeg dropped a 5-0 decision to the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday, but they had won four straight prior to that. Blake Wheeler leads the Jets in scoring with 88 points, followed by Mark Scheifele with 80 and Kyle Connor with 57. Scheifele has 35 goals on the season, while both Connor and Patrik Laine have potted 29. Connor Hellebuyck is 31-20-2 in net for Winnipeg with a .912 save percentage.

Nashville is 24-13-(1)-4 all-time against the Jets franchise, including a 9-6-(1)-4 record on the road. Overall, Nashville has earned at least a point in five of its last eight meetings with Winnipeg, including a 1-2-0 record against the Jets this season.
