The final home game of the 2021-22 regular season has arrived for the Nashville Predators, and they'll host the Calgary Flames at Bridgestone Arena on Fan Appreciation Night this evening. Tonight's matchup against the Flames - who have clinched the Pacific Division - could provide a preview for next week as a First Round matchup for the Preds in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. This is the third and final meeting between Nashville and Calgary this season; it's the second of two at home.
One of the postseason clinching scenarios for the Preds tonight is simple: win and they're in. If they do so, the Predators would secure a playoff berth for the eighth-consecutive season, but Nashville knows they'll need to be at their best to do so. With just three games to go in the regular season, that playoff-style feel is present every night, and the Preds will look to bounce back after a 5-4 overtime loss to Minnesota on Sunday.
