Game 6 in Denver at Pepsi Center provides a second opportunity for the Nashville Predators to advance to Round Two (tonight at 6 p.m. CT).
Nashville held a 1-0 lead in the final minutes of Game 5, but saw the Colorado Avalanche respond with two goals of their own to force a Game 6 and cut the Preds' series lead to 3-2. Forward Scott Hartnell entered the Preds' lineup in Game 5 with Ryan Hartman suspended one game for an illegal check to the head of Carl Soderberg. Hartman is eligible to return to the ice for Game 6.
The Predators did not practice on Saturday and did not hold a morning skate on Sunday. Below is a projected lineup based on Game 5:
