Nashville is coming into the game with a lead over the Wild and the Blackhawks in the Central Division. However, the Predators are still towards the bottom of the Central Division. The last game for the Predators was a 5-2 win over the Chicago Blackhawks.

Filip Forsberg is the leading goal scorer for the Predators with 15 goals. Roman Josi has 32 assist and 46 points overall for the Nashville team. When it comes to playing defense the Predators have allowed only 3.30 goals a game.

Winnipeg is coming into the game here after losing to the Boston Bruins in their last game. The loss to the Bruins was a fairly high scoring affair with the final score being 5-4. The loss did drop the Jets to 4th in the Central Division with a 24-17-4 record overall.

This season the Jets have relied on one player for almost all of the offensive production. That player has been Mark Scheifele with 22 goals, 29 assist, but also with 51 points overall. The defense for the Jets has allowed only 3.07 goals a game on the year so far.

    The Jets are playing at home in this game and that will definitely help them out quite a bit as the white out has helped the Jets tremendously in the past. The other thing that helps the Jets out is the fact that the Jets are playing better defense overall without the support of the home crowd. Look for the Jets to rely heavily on Scheifele in this game again as he can spur the Jets offense to the net. Final Score Prediction, Winnipeg Jets win 3-2.
