One game to see who advances in the 2018 Stanley Cup Playoffs… and Nashville will be rocking tonight in the process.

The NHL’s second round of playoffs has only yielded one Game 7, but it is one deserving of the spotlight.

When the Winnipeg Jets play the Nashville Predators at Bridgestone Arena tonight (puck drops at 7 p.m. Central), it will be a meeting of the league’s two top teams from the regular season.

Nashville totaled 117 points, compared to Winnipeg’s 114. That’s 53 wins for Nashville and 52 for Winnipeg. How close were they? Winnipeg’s goal differential was +59 and Nashville’s was +56.

Both teams have Vezina Trophy finalists in net (Pekka Rinne for Nashville and Connor Hellebuyck for Winnipeg).

Why the Predators can win the Game 7

– When you factor minutes played, Nashville’s Filip Forsberg might be the NHL’s most productive postseason performer this season. Averaging 17:32 per game, Forsberg has generated 15 points in 12 games. His dynamic offensive play fuels the Predators’ underrated offense.

– Predators showed in Game 6 that they can tighten the screws on their defensive coverage. Their defensive group, particularly their top four of Roman Josi, PK Subban, Ryan Ellis and Mattias Ekholm, may be the league’s best. When you add in Vezina favorite Pekka Rinne, the Predators have the ability to thwart the Jets’ powerful offense.

– Shouldn’t experience count for something? The Predators should have learned plenty last season when they reached the Stanley Cup Final. The Jets group hasn’t played a game this important.

This will be a game to watch tonight!
