How to Watch, Live Stream Blackhawks vs. Preds

The Nashville Predators can clinch a second-consecutive Central Division title with a win tonight against the Chicago Blackhawks in the 2018-19 regular-season finale. A victory on Fan Appreciation Night at Bridgestone Arena would also give the Preds 100 points and home-ice advantage as the Stanley Cup Playoffs begin next week.
Needless to say, it's a big game tonight in Smashville. The Predators have won their last two outings, both by 3-2 scores over Buffalo and Vancouver. Now, the group has turned their focus to a goal they set way back in training camp - earning another division title on their way to a fifth-straight postseason run.
"With the amount of injuries and different things and adversity that we've gone through this year, to still be in a position where we can capture our division, it's something that we are very proud of and something we should be very excited about," Preds defenseman P.K. Subban said. "It's a Saturday night in our barn against Chicago. It doesn't get much better than that."

There are a few individual milestones that could be set by Preds players tonight. Viktor Arvidsson has 33 tallies on the campaign and needs one more to set the single-season franchise record.
Additionally, Preds Captain Roman Josi is one goal away from establishing a single-season career-high of 16, and goaltender Pekka Rinne is one game from tying Miikka Kiprusoff for second-most games played (623) all-time by a Finnish-born goalie.

Last Time Out:
Ryan Johansen scored the game-winner with 19.5 seconds to play on Thursday night as the Preds came away with a 3-2 win over Vancouver. Nick Bonino and Colton Sissons also tallied on the evening while Rinne picked up the win.
Johansen will finish as Nashville's leading scorer on the season; he leads his club with 64 points, followed by Josi with 56 and Filip Forsberg with 48. Arvidsson's 33 goals are followed by Forsberg's 27 and Craig Smith's 21.

The Opposition:
The Blackhawks are out of the playoff picture, but they crushed the Dallas Stars last night in Chicago by a 6-1 final. Patrick Kane has had a stellar season with 44 goals and 109 points, followed by Jonathan Toews with 35 goals and 81 points. Alex DeBrincat has 41 goals on the season; Brandon Saad has tallied 23. Corey Crawford started Friday's game in Chicago but left due to injury; Cam Ward finished the game for the Hawks.
All-Time Meetings:
Tonight will be the 113th time the Predators and Blackhawks clash in the regular season, Nashville's most against a single opponent.
The Predators are 50-49-(4)-9 all-time against the Blackhawks, including a 28-21-(3)-3 record at Bridgestone Arena. The Preds have earned at least a point in five of their last seven games against the Blackhawks (4-2-1), and Nashville has limited Chicago to two-or-fewer goals in six of their last seven meetings.

Notables Versus Chicago:
Ryan Johansen has 21 points (5g-16a), including six multi-point games, in 27 career regular-season meetings with the Blackhawks. Dan Hamhuis has 33 points (5g-28a) in 70 career contests versus Chicago, and Mattias Ekholm is on a three-game point streak versus the Blackhawks (4a).
