Preds vs. Avalanche, Game 5: How to Watch, Live Stream

Thanks to a 3-2 victory in Game 4, the Nashville Predators have returned home with a chance to end their series against the Colorado Avalanche tonight in Game 5, presented by Ford, at Bridgestone Arena.
After dropping Game 3 in Denver, the Preds have now taken a 3-1 series lead over the Avs, the third time in club history Nashville has had a 3-1 advantage. The Predators were a perfect 3-for-3 last season with the chance to eliminate an opponent at home, and they'll look to do the same tonight.
"In the playoffs, it's not over till it's over," Predators defenseman P.K. Subban said. "Last year, we showed a lot of composure in those moments and executed well. I would expect us to execute at our best tomorrow."

Colton Sissons and Craig Smith added goals in the second stanza and Pekka Rinne made 31 saves on the night as Nashville turned in their best effort of the postseason.
Forsberg, Sissons, Austin Watson and Ryan Johansen are all tied for the team lead with five points each through four games. Forsberg, Sissons and Watson have three goals apiece; defenseman Mattias Ekholm has four assists in the series.
The Opposition:
Gabriel Landeskog leads Colorado with three goals and six points in four games, followed by Nathan MacKinnon - who also has three goals - with five points. Blake Comeau, Gabriel Bourque and Alexander Kerfoot have two goals each for the Avalanche.

Series Highlights:
