The Predators look to bounce back from a loss when they visit the Blackhawks on Friday night
The Nashville Predators hit the road on Friday night to take on the Chicago Blackhawks. The Predators are looking to avoid a second straight loss after falling to the Winnipeg Jets 4-3 in overtime on Tuesday. That loss was their fifth in the last seven games and dropped them to 45-29-5 on the season. Despite the slump they have clinched a playoff spot, but are trying to hold on to the top wild-card spot. They currently sit three points up on the Vegas Golden Knights for the first wild card. If the standings hold, the Predators would battle the Vancouver Canucks in the first round of the playoffs.

The Blackhawks, on the other hand, have long been eliminated from the playoffs and are just playing about the rest of the season.
They have been playing better as of late, but still come into Friday on a two-game losing streak.
They continue to sit in last place in the Central Division as the only team in the league they have a better record than is the San Jose Sharks.
Friday is the second to last home game for the Blackhawks as they will host the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday before finishing the season out west against the Vegas Golden Knights and Los Angeles Kings.
