Big Games Tonight

There are a few big games tonight for teams in the Western Conference trying to secure one of the last two playoff spots. The first game is the Predators at the Wild. Nashville is coming of a huge shootout win last night to keep their slim hopes alive. Minnesota's chances are even smaller than Nashville's. I like Nashville to win in their final game of the season 2-1. The second big game is Columbus at Saint Louis. The Blues are coming off a successful 3-1-1 road trip and are in need of three points to secure a playoff spot. The Blue Jackets just clinched their first ever spot Wednesday night at Chicago but still need one point to guarantee the sixth seed. Both teams have a lot to play for in this game. I think the game might be close and tightly played. The Blues have a little more to play for in this game and the Jackets might rest some people. Blues in OT 3-2. The last big game is the Stars at the Ducks. Anaheim needs only two points to earn a Stanley Cup berth. Dallas can only play spoiler. Ducks win easy 4-1.
