NHL Weekend Showdown: Will Canada’s Playoff Hopes Spark a Holiday Crisis?

1. Nashville Predators (6-11-4, -25) – They had almost a week off after being shut out by the Penguins to end their mini-series in Sweden. The result: Another shutout, this time against the Avalanche. When they face the Panthers tonight, it will have been ten days since their last goal.
Not ranked: Columbus Blue Jackets – They were a great story last year, riding the emotion of the Johnny Gaudreau tragedy and a Norris-worthy breakout from Zach Werenski almost all the way to a playoff spot. That “almost” was the painful twist, with the Blue Jackets eventually ending up two points shy after a late-season losing streak dug a hole that even six straight wins to end the season weren’t enough to climb out of.
