The Nashville Predators will welcome the Colorado Avalanche to Bridgestone Arena for an NHL game on Friday. The Nashville Predators won 4-3 in their last game over the Wild. Juuso Parssinen scored at 2:44 of overtime to give the Nashville Predators a 4-3 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Thursday night. Mark Jankowski, Kiefer Sherwood and Yakov Trenin also scored for the Predators. Juuse Saros made 21 saves.
“This particular group over the last six weeks, they’ve been hungry, they’ve been tenacious and they play with a lot of pride,” Predators coach John Hynes said. “I thought we did those things tonight and it was good to see.” “It’s great, just the thought of playing hockey for five more years in this environment with this organization, those teammates, the staff, everybody, really the whole organization,” Gaudreau said. “I feel very, very grateful.”
Tied 2-2 going into the third, Trenin and Petan traded goals 16 seconds apart late to send the game into overtime. Petan’s goal was his first in the NHL since March 2, 2019. Minnesota is locked into the Central Division’s third spot and will face either Colorado or Dallas in the first round of the playoffs.
The Colorado Avalanche on the other hand won 4-2 against the Jets in their last game. The Colorado Avalanche are on the brink of capturing the Central Division title even through their lengthy list of bumps and bruises, which includes being without their captain all season. Evan Rodrigues scored the go-ahead goal on a wrist shot early in the third period to help the Avalanche beat the Winnipeg Jets 4-2 on Thursday night to stay in the divisional race.
Colorado has 107 points and needs to win in Nashville on Friday to secure the Central’s top spot over Dallas. The Stars wrapped up their regular season with 108 points after beating St. Louis. “No matter what our lineup has been, we’ve fought tooth and nail and fought our way into a position to win the division,” said Rodrigues, whose team set an Avalanche record for players used this season. “That’s our focus now.”
Denis Malgin and Mikko Rantanen also scored for the defending Stanley Cup champions, with Artturi Lehkonen adding a late empty-net score. It was Rantanen’s 55th goal of the season, which is the most by an Avalanche player since the team moved to town before the 1995-96 season. He surpassed the Colorado mark of 54 set by Hall of Famer turned team executive Joe Sakic in 2000-01.
