What to look for
The Canucks drew a good opponent in the Predators, having swept them in the regular season three games to zero, good for six total points. They also averaged 4.33 goals per game compared to just 2.00 goals allowed, foreshadowing a pretty good advantage over the Preds. But now that playoff hockey is among us, this could ultimately become anyone’s series.
